For day 2 of #BluePitHype I've got some STUNNING art to share! 💜The two main characters from my YA contemporary fantasy about misbehaving magic, beautifully brought to life by @/BMWillows ⚡The grouchy, slightly cursed main character of my YA fantasy-horror-comedy, illustrated by the fab @/rivacyte

Illustration of a girl with long blonde curly hair and a boy with dark brown wavy hair and stubble, both in their late teens, against a wintery woodland backdrop. They are holding hands and have their foreheads pressed together.

A girl with short dark hair, dressed in a white shirt, tight black trousers and an embellished navy cape, she is frowning and lightning is crackling at her fingertips
