📌 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.

Horizontal illustration of Poseidon's Wrath painted by Eleonor Piteira for 'The Odyssey' by Homer, where we see an epic scene of a giant Poseidon with his trident directing the seas against a tiny Odysseus holding on to some wreckage from his ship for dear life. The huge waves become horses in a few places, and the sky is full of dark clouds and lightning.

The Front Endpaper of ‘The Bone Shard Emperor’ by Andrea Stewart 💙 (3/6) Book 2’s endpapers were the most fun of the six! I loved painting the intricate details and flow of all the characters/creatures here 💛

My front endpaper for The Bone Shard Emperor by Andrea Stewart. Phalue and Tythus are back-to-back in a fighting stance. They’re both holding up their swords against two giant constructs (one is a tiger with a leopard tail, the other is a wild cat with a wolf tail) who are menacingly circling them, creating a circular frame composition.

My back endpaper for The Bone Shard Emperor by Andrea Stewart. SPOILERS. A majestic giant sea serpent caught in and surrounded by a massive cyclone of wind and water. It roars as broken splinters strike its coiling body. At the epicentre of the cyclone is a single small figure, Gio, who is controlling the power of the elements.

The Back Endpaper for ‘The Bone Shard Daughter’ by Andrea Stewart ❣️ (2/6) This was one of my favourites of the six endpapers. When I read the brief I was so excited to work out how to portray such an epic scene and with so many characters/creatures 🖤

My illustration of the back endpaper of The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart. SPOILERS. A savage battle scene depicting the final moment before the Emperor’s death. All around them are dead or wounded constructs, bleeding and in mid battle. The centre is of Lin and the Emperor. Lin has one hand raised pointing towards the Emperor, commanding Bing Tai to attack. The emperor locks eye contact with Lin in shock as Bing Tai ferociously lunges and surrounds him, wrapping his jaw around his neck. The entire scene is framed within a circular border of an Asian wooden screen with a phoenix on either side. The whole illustration has a circular flow to create a visceral and dynamic atmosphere.

My illustration of the front endpaper of The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart. An island is burning and horrifically sinking into the depths of the sea, creating a giant wave of water which leads the eye to the two characters who are safely on a small boat who are onlooking in horror. Small animals from the island and large sea creatures are swimming away from the whirlpool trying to escape the disaster.
