Is it gay to commission a portrait of your best friend to gaze upon longingly whenever you’re forced apart ? Asking for Maxie …

First illustration from the book! Or better, one for the characters presentation section. Benjamin is the main character so he’s first on the list! I liked the idea of a more personal one for him. Since I’m a sucker for this kind of portraits and I do want to test my limits, I’ve decided to take inspiration from real ones, and realize a bunch for the main cast according to their rank and possibilities. Main inspiration for this one is John Singleton Copley’s Winslow Warren portrait. I’m quite pleased with the result! 

Playing around with solutions for the cover! I will use this one to ship it around and get some feedback about publishing

I really wanted the cover to deliver the atmosphere and tone of the story, so i went for those “overdramatic” eerie-sque vibes for this one. Yes, the frogs must be there all the time

As usual, let me know what you think!

“You should probably quit the drinking for tonight, you know?”

“OR, you could help me finish this one instead!”

A small illustration of a very drunk prince and his kinda very tired best friend. This scene ended up being cut from the book, but I had to make something for it nonetheless Can’t esclude it will come back as an add-on eventually!

Maxie and Jimmy are my OCs from my original project, Amor Fati

Testing the lettering for this! I’m quite happy with the result, this project is coming along nicely and i couldn’t keep it for myself :D!

Hope you’ll enjoy the dialogues too! English is not my first language so please ignore any accidental weirdness i hope this intro will speak to some of you too ?

Amor Fati is a personal project of mine ✌
