In Danger
“This is illustration is part of a personal project exploring my own fantasy world, inspired by the idea of a wandering circus. The characters I designed represent small fragments of this larger universe.”
Underweb Sorceress
“A Hearthstone-inspired fan art featuring a creature in a magical cave environment. I focused on stylised shapes, glowing magical effects and a vibrant palette to capture the whimsical fantasy atmosphere of the game.”
Alice in Wonderland
“This is a redraw of my older Alice in Wonderland illustration. I revisited the concept to improve the composition, colours and atmosphere, aiming to create a more polished and cohesive version of the scene.”
Shattered Sunblade
“This illustration was created for a fan challenge inspired by the world of Hearthstone. The concept explores an alternative take on the character’s path while staying within the game’s stylised fantasy aesthetic.”
