I had the utmost pleasure of painting the cover illustration of @marianavcoelho.bsky.social 's debut novel 'Truthteller' for Transworld/Penguin Random House UK! ⚖️ Out March 2027!

Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira for the book 'Truthteller' by Mariana V. Coelho, featuring a woman with a golden headpiece that covers her eyes and fans out behind her head like rays. She is wearing a red and elaborate outfit with multiple layers and gold embroidery with gemstones. She is holding a scale in each of her hands, while the scales' chains wrap around her hands and forearms and go up towards the sky. Some of the chains are breaking, one of the scales is tipping down and gold liquid is running down.

badly done and very brief little guide about contrast when thinking about composition! this is really just the tip of the iceberg, but it is something i think about a lot! if you take one thing from this, its that composition is ALL about relationships between the elements. (1/2)

Collecting all (but 2) of my Babel illustrations here :) All the spreads are 16x12" and the spots are 4" on the longest side, all ink on claybord. Description in alt. One of my favorite projects of these past few years, so I'm happy to answer questions about these!

spot illos for R.F. Kuang's Babel - Illustrated edition these were all made at around 4" on the longest size and printed even smaller in the book, so they had to be clear and readable at a small size, while still retaining a good amount of detail spots are really fun to conceptualize and draw!

📌 I'm Eleonor, a freelance illustrator from Portugal - you can see my work in books (in covers and interiors), card games, and other assorted projects :) Everything I paint is 100% human-made, as are the occasional bad jokes ✌️ 🌟 eleonorpiteira.squarespace.com

Cover illustration for the Special Limited Edition of 'The Odyssey' by Homer painted by Eleonor Piteira for Wraithmarked Creative, showing a strong Odysseus with grey streaks in his hair and short dark beard, wearing golden armour and holding a spear and a shield, while standing in the sun before a mural made of mosaics featuring Athena and ships in the sea. There are branches of olive trees on the foreground.

Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira for Astarion, a Baldur's Gate 3 novel, by T. Kingfisher, featuring a white haired man in rich black and red clothes, raising a golden goblet on his hand that overflowing with blood and dripping down. On his other hand he is holding a dagger. The background is red with dark circular markings seemingly dripping down.

Haliya, Guided by Light, illustrated by Eleonor Piteira for the Magic: The Gathering set 'Edge of Eternities'. A young black woman dressed in light armour with an orange cape and holding a sci-fi-looking axe, stands triumphantly on top of a pile of dead enemies in dark bulky armours. Behind her there's a flat orange planet against a light purple background with stars, while the silhouette of a ship flies by.

Time's End, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a statue of a woman reaching up with light emanating from her hand. On the background there are ruins of a building with plants growing amidst the remnants of a broken stained glass window framing a sky filled with stars.
