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!

This piece is from so long ago that now that's finished it doesn't seem real haha Bloodhound waiting for their date in Bape fashion <3

No thoughts, only Bloodhound but I can't play Apex at the moment so let me have this study

For anyone who tried to reach to me in the past month: I’ve not been very active here due to work and other stuff, so I’ll try to catch up with each in the next few days! I just want to be known I’ve not ignored any of you on purpose, I’m just failing epically at managing my schedule :)

[salmonportfolio]

Something in between work! An extremely angsty Constantin looking at his new appearance for the first time. Just wanted to fill in on the worry behind his line to De Sardet 🥺 How I missed drawing my precious boy ❤

Old ways Bloodhound's good for the SOUL

I couldn’t help but overdo this illustration about my headcanon for Bloth’s face :)

Time to come back from the dead to say I have the HUGEST crush on them, felagi fighters

My new Cintiq 22 HD finally arrived! And I decided to break the ice with some good environment&painting practice. Featuring my favorite blonde fruity prince, of course 😉 I can safely reassure you, that blood is all HIS 🤐

A new icon i worked on some time ago. I really enjoyed experimenting with this palette! Work is really busy so enjoy this one for now 👀 On my instagram a sneak to the process for this one!

[salmonportfolio]

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!

Introducing Prince Maxie hangin' out with two... friends 😏? Homeboy is many things, but surely not shy hahah I really loved working on this page wip. Guess which one is my favorite panel 💖? Amor Fati is an original project of mine 💫

[salmonportfolio]

I usually don’t post wips but I’m just adoring the energy of this sketch Yes that’s Constantin and De Sardet getting together just after defeating Vimbarr because angst :D

[salmonportfolio]

Maxie, you should at least pretend to be sorry when you get scolded!

 Having more fun with these two, redrawing panels! Trying to nail a different style and coloring for ther comic <3

"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 💗💕🐸

I've been obsessed with Taylor's new album since it came out days ago, and I had to squeeze a little tribute between work. Imean, she managed to do THAT, you know? Time to go back listening to "this is me trying" all night long 😭👌

[salmonportfolio]

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 ✌
