Hi! I go by Avendell online, and I’m originally from Germany but am now a part-time freelance Illustrator based in the US. My favorite thing about is art is the ability to bring moments, scenes, and characters to life and provoke an emotional response from the viewer. I currently specialize in book illustrations which allows me to do exactly that while also combining some of my favorite things. When I’m not drawing, I like to read, hang out with friends, go outside, and spend time with my family. I mostly work digitally but always carry a small sketchbook and ballpoint pens as well.
Great to meet you, Avendell! We’re highlighting these pieces below chosen by @avendell.
For more of her illustrations, check her out over at @avendell.
Hi y'all! My name is Lily A. (aka Novva), and I’m a children’s book illustrator and vocalist! I love working with vibrant colors and drawing characters who look like me. I’m currently an HBCU student studying Digital Art and am working on a picture book pitch about my Caribbean-American heritage.
Great to meet you, Lily! We’ve asked her to pick out some of her artworks to share below.

Hi, I’m Lys! I am a part-time professional digital artist/ part-time art therapist with a huge love for flowers (I definitely blame my parents for giving me a rare French flower name)! I mostly draw fanart of my favorite series and illustrations of my original characters, but lately, I’ve found a new passion for webcomics and outfit design with the Winx Club girls. In 2022, I’ll be available for freelance work in illustration! It’s a pleasure to meet you all!
Please to meet you, @momoiro-hime! Thank you for sharing your art with us. For more of Lys’ art, check out and follow @momoiro-hime!

Howdy I’m Jae! I’m an illustration student and freelance artist from southern California.

In the future, I hope to work in story or visdev for TVA or children’s book illustration! I’m a plushie accumulator, fish enjoyer, and dream about seeing the world. Nice to meet you! ⟡

Hullo, I’m Rachel! I’m a part-time illustrator from the United States. I love making drawings that evoke comforting and happy emotions in others. I’ve also drawn for children’s books and magazines, and hope to someday publish my own books! When I’m not illustrating, I’m either brushing up on my web design & development skills, playing piano, or spending time outside.
Nice to meet you, Rachel! We’ve asked her to pick out some of her work to feature here.

Hello! I’m Pipimi, and I’m an American Thai/Japanese/Chinese nonbinary artist and full-time animation student! I love all forms of art and love to experiment with my own style and push myself around in different directions with everything I make. My school schedule is quite filled to the brim, but over the Summer, I’m planning on making FFXIV-related comics and participating in ArtFight. I’m currently in a director’s position and will be going into my senior film next semester. One of my goals is to create my own video game, but regardless of that, I think my dream is just to create anything forever. If that seems interesting, come join me!
So nice to meet you, Pipimi! We’ve asked them to share some of their art with you. Check them out!
For more of Pipimi’s work, be sure to stop by their Tumblr @pipii.

Hi! I’m Jura online, but I also go by my name – Hao – or my handle @alienturnipp. I am a Vietnamese artist based in Canada, currently working full-time as a Graphic & Web Designer but also dipping my hands into other creative projects. On Tumblr, you will probably see me posting a lot of Dragon Age fan work and personal art as well :”D
Many of my art inspirations come from western dark fantasy, but I’m slowly reconciling my artistic expression with my own culture through various means. Designing Vietnamese clothes in high fantasy settings has a special place in my heart, and I hope to learn and grow in the future.
Nice to meet you, Jura! She has picked out some of her artwork to share with you all here.
Check out more of Jura’s art over at her Tumblr @alienturnipp!
