PORTFOLIO
This personal commission depicts a sacred, sacrificial scene with a winged girl lying on a broken, apple shaped clock. Swords framing her guide the viewer’s eye and enhance perspective, while iron railings in the background suggest a cage, reinforcing the trapped-bird metaphor. Symbolic elements of birds, apples, and time highlight vulnerability, fate, and the fleeting nature of life. The intention is to create a dramatic, contemplative moment blending fantasy and narrative tension. The target audience is young adult fantasy game players and art directors seeking evocative, concept-driven character illustrations.
This personal commission shows a mysterious, ghostly figure leaning against a softly glowing green lantern. A palette of eerie green and gold is combined with sunlight entering through a window, keeping the figure’s upper body in shadow and illuminated only by the lantern’s subtle glow. Chinese-inspired elements are integrated to enrich atmosphere and cultural context. The intention is to evoke a haunting, intimate mood blending allure with spectral presence. The target audience is fantasy and narrative illustration collectors, as well as art directors seeking atmospheric, character-driven work.
This personal commission depicts an opera performer consumed by obsession with the stage. I incorporated serpents, bat wings, and poison motifs, with dramatic lighting and theatrical composition to reflect seduction, danger, and self-destructive passion.

The target audience includes fantasy illustration collectors, character-driven narrative fans, and art directors seeking emotionally charged, decorative character imagery.
This personal commission depicts a mysterious antique shop owner with a subtle dragon motif woven into the character design. I used a muted, eerie green palette and antique-inspired details to create a secretive atmosphere that feels both charming and slightly sinister. The character is lit with a dual-toned, yin-yang style glow across the face, reinforcing themes of hidden identity and dual nature. The intention of this piece is to balance cuteness with unease, suggesting a playful surface masking something more dangerous. The target audience includes fantasy illustration collectors, character-focused narrative fans, and art directors.

This personal commission is based on an existing character and reimagines her within a sacred, church setting. I depicted a white-haired girl wearing a white bridal dress inside a blue-and-white church, using light angled from outside to cast across her figure and create a sense of holiness. The restrained color palette and architectural framing reinforce purity and reverence. The intention of this piece is to evoke a quiet, sacred atmosphere rather than overt drama.
The target audience is fantasy illustration collectors, young adult audiences, and art directors seeking spiritually themed, mood-driven character illustrations.
This commission depicts a couple inspired by Chinese fantasy, featuring a scholar and a living puppet he carefully tends to. I placed the scene within a traditional interior, using theatrical framing and a large opera-like backdrop to echo the girl’s wish to one day sing. The contrast between the scholar’s quiet devotion and the puppet’s emerging consciousness is emphasized through scale, lighting, and composition. The intention of this piece is to tell a gentle, melancholic story about care, longing, and transformation. The target audience is young adult fantasy audiences, narrative illustration collectors, and art directors interested in culturally inspired, story driven character work.
This paired personal commission explores vampiric desire and power through a stylized, ritualistic dining metaphor. The first image shows a female vampire holding a fork and knife from a low-angle perspective, with red top light descending from a gothic, cathedral-like dome to create a sense of dominance and pressure. The second image reverses that power dynamic: a male figure lies on a serving plate, his clothing parted by cutlery, surrounded by flowers, cherry tomatoes, and rosemary, with focused lighting turning his body into an object of display. The black-and-red palette reinforces themes of blood, appetite, and erotic tension without explicit violence. The intention of this pair is to contrast control and vulnerability while framing consumption as spectacle.
The target audience is young adult fantasy audiences, vampire genre fans, and art directors interested in bold, narrative-driven illustration with strong symbolic staging.
This commission depicts an intimate moment between a couple set within an elegant, romantic interior. I used a soft pastel palette with pinks, blues, and muted golds, framing the figures with floral elements and architectural details to create a sense of quiet closeness and emotional depth. The overlapping composition and gentle body language emphasize tenderness, trust, and unspoken connection rather than overt drama. Light filtering through the space softens the scene and reinforces a dreamlike, suspended moment in time.
The intention of this piece is to explore emotional intimacy through subtle gesture and atmosphere, aimed at young adult audiences, romance focused illustration collectors, and art directors seeking narrative-driven character work.
This illustration is based on the character Naiad from Identity V, reimagined in a quiet deep-ocean setting. I used a blue-green palette with gold accessories to evoke depth, stillness, and a sense of restrained divinity. Schools of fish and drifting bubbles surround the figure, reinforcing the calm, submerged atmosphere. Soft top lighting creates a shimmering, rippling effect, suggesting light filtering through water rather than direct illumination.
The intention of this piece is to portray Naiad as serene and distant, appealing to Identity V fans, young adult fantasy audiences, and art directors seeking atmospheric, character centre illustrations.
This commission is based on an existing character, a Western fantasy astronomy teacher devoted to stargazing. I placed the character beneath an arched structure at night, using cool blues and silvers with moonlight and soft candlelight to create a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Celestial imagery and flowing garments emphasize themes of knowledge, time, and quiet dedication. The intention of this piece is to present scholarly curiosity as poetic and serene rather than distant or severe.
The target audience is fantasy illustration enthusiasts, young adult audiences, and art directors seeking refined, character driven fantasy imagery.
This personal commission explores a dark, medieval-inspired take on a holy communion theme, blending religious solemnity with cult-like undertones. A female figure lies on a table, her striking, unfocused blue eyes drawing immediate attention, holding a heart near her mouth. The composition is inverted, with flowing folds of the tablecloth radiating outward, and circular metal ornaments on her body creating high-contrast highlights that focus the viewer’s gaze. Metallic goblets, grapes, and pomegranates reinforce ritualistic symbolism, while a flash-like lighting effect emphasizes texture and dramatizes the scene.
The intention is to evoke unease, fascination, and ritualistic intensity, appealing to young adult fantasy audiences, dark fantasy illustration fans, and art directors seeking provocative, concept driven character work.
This personal commission is based on existing character with the key word “false mercy”. She looks gentle, almost tender. The butterfly rests in her palm, believing it is protected. What appears to be mercy is control disguised as care, a diet possession that never loosens its grip.
