The Tomb of Kalin "Once a place to honor Kalin, the prince who dreamed of uniting the tribes and nations from the desert of Tahaj. Now, the ruins are an ominous place that travelers avoid." New portfolio piece, from my 7 Ancients world.

Illustration of ruins of a tomb. The scenery is a vast desert. The architeture is inspired by Middle-East and Central Asia buildings. 3 men in the foreground can be seen carrying lamps, moving away from the ruins. The sky is starry and a purple star shines right at the top of the building dome.

Oh hi. It's my birthday 🙂 I have to say that diving into acrylic painting and book illustration over these last few years has been incredibly rewarding, and I enjoy learning more, painting more, and getting older really is quite great!

Cover illustration for "Fusion Fragment" showing a portrait of a woman facing upwards, as a mirror shatters around her. The mirror shards all show eyes of other women trapped within them. Two mask shards are also falling around her face, inspired by Japanese kabuki masks, representing her mixed heritage.

Acrylic painting showing Sauron's defeat by Lúthien and Huan at Tol-in-Gaurhoth

Book interior illustration for "Fangs for Nothing", showing the MC Winnie in a castle hallway. The scene takes inspiration from Gothic horror and Gothic romance movies, from the nightgown design to the candelabra.
A black cat hides behind Winnie's leg, a vampire hides in a dark doorway, and the red candlelight reflects of a suit of armor and several empty painting frames.

Acrylic character illustration for a fantasy book commission. The two characters are shown in a sparse, partially destroyed ice palace hall. Both characters have unnaturally pale skin and are clad in black.

Birthday post~🎂 As per tradition, it would be a gift to me if you could repost my cringe 🥹💕 #art #zenos #ocart

A surreal red black and white poster for Coerthan Traitor, my fanfic. Zenos holding up the head of his own father on a cushion in an offering to Crow.

Zenos and Crow in a black backdrop, her back turned away from the viewer with toward him. They're posed in front of a black mirror, reflective edge barely limned in a red glow. His gloved hand is sinuously sliding down her lower back, their other hands are joined and she holds a dagger surreptitiously by her side.

An intimate bedroom scene where Crow is laying on Zenos. The scene is framed by various objects and the bed is strewn with some papers and books.

Crow in her enshrouded reaper form as she climbs out of a rippling portal, black taloned hand emerging with her. She is lifting her scythe from the murk, almost luxuriating in the power. — one of my earliest attempts at a splash art.

It’s my birthday today! ✨🎉 This is where I usually share some of my polished artwork, but this somewhat messy watercolour from my sketchbook does a better job at representing the energy I would like to bring into the next year of my life.

A watercolour painting of a woman with long violet hair holding up a knife above her head in a threatening manner. All around her colour blooms in pinks, oranges and golds.

Last but not least, Cyclops Island, the other endpaper/endsheet illustration that I painted for @wraithmarked.bsky.social 's Special Limited Edition of The Odyssey by Homer! ☀️🌊

Horizontal illustration of Cyclops Island painted by Eleonor Piteira for 'The Odyssey' by Homer, where we see a giant Athena on the sea, holding a spear and her shield, while Odysseus passes by on his ship. He's approaching an island where a small figure is sitting down next to some tiny sheep.

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.

if you're trying to get into drawing environments but worried about perspective, my hot take is don't worry about it at all. It's a lot more important that things FEEL in perspective than actually being in perspective, and that usually comes from strong composition, scaling and shapes

An illustration of a goliath hunter on his mount in snowy mountain terrain, facing off against a crag cat. The Goliath is a young man, dressed in brown and white furs, accented with red and blue woven panels. He wields a red horsebow. His mount is a mixture of a reindeer and a markhor goat. His tack and gear matches the colors and motifs of his rider. He is mid leap. In the foreground, a white sabertoothed cat pursues the pair. In the background are snowy peaks and Giant ruins.

A cleric astride a flying broom raises a glowing sword above a battle field. Golden, rays of bright light stream out from the sword. Her party members and herself are wrapped in golden glowing flowers and vines. They stare up at her in awe.

The party members, counter clockwise from the top left are: A dwarven artificer wearing jeweltones and riding a magic carpet, the cleric wearing a gold breastplate and blue robes; a giant fighter in full adamantine plate and a dragon helm; a half-drow Psi-fighter in blues and purples, floating mid-air and holding her crossbow; and a tiefling ranger, arms stretched out in joy and relief.

Behind the party members is a truly gargantuan giant, you can see him only up to his knees. He wears silver greaves and you can catch a glimpse of his great axe.

Ruins of a city are in the distant background.

A hammerhead shark-based mermaid swinging a glowing pink sword in the dark depth of the sea. her upper half is a red-skinned tiefling with large halo-esque horns. She wears large, circular, purple sunglasses. In the darkness beyond are a couple of swimming hammerhead sharks.

A man and a woman ride their mounts towards the camera side by side. They reach out to each other to hold hands. Joy fills their faces.

The man is a Goliath a long fur lined vest (no shirt underneath), riding a reindeer-esque mount. The woman is a curly-haired human wearing a loose western inspired smock-shirt tucked into tight riding pants with fringe at the hips. She rides a draft horse.

Digital art of a knight clad in black and gold armour. They hoist a pride flag in one hand and wield a sword in the other. They are stepping onto the fallen body of an angel in front of a crumbling gothic arch. Overlaid in red is the text "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE"

Art of a deathly pale woman with long white hair. She is dressed in black, with gold-trimmed light armour. She lunges forward, brandishing a long black knife and pointing a long metal claw. Black shadow magic erupts from her casting implements in the shape of wings.

Fanart of Vraska, a Planeswalker from Magic the Gathering. She is a pallid woman with glowing golden eyes and head full of green and orange snakes for hair. She wears a dress of fungi and greenery. She lounges comfortably on a dilapidated stone throne, and holds the Thaumatic Compass in one hand.

Digital art of a ranger and a giant jackalope equipped with a saddle and bags. The ranger is wearing a white cowboy hat, a red serape, and dusty mauve cowboy boots. She is down on one knee, examining a broken feather as she looks off in the direction of her quarry. It is midday - the colours are vivid and warm, conveying the heat and aridness.
