Hi, my name is Arielle, and I’m a Filipina-American freelance illustrator, comic book artist, and writer! As a long-time theater kid, I love drawing characters with emotionally specific facial expressions and body language, and designing fun outfits and sets for them to live in. I take a lot of inspiration from vintage illustrations, fashion, musicals, and books. You might know my work from my graphic novels Black Star, Evil Thing: A Villains Graphic Novel, or most recently Girl Taking Over: A Lois Lane Story. It’s equally possible you’ve seen my work floating around here on Tumblr because I’ve been on this platform for 12 years!! Thanks so much for taking a look~ :)
Pleased to meet you, Arielle! Below is some of her work that she has picked out for you all to appreciate.
For more of Arielle’s work, be sure to check out her Tumblr, @jovaline!

an old animatic i made and just realized i never posted cause i was planning on finishing but i just looked back and realized the place i stopped is fine
(I’ve never done this before so Im sorry if this makes u uncomfortable or weird 😅)
One, your Odysseus design is everything to me. I love it so much. Your animatics really bring the EPIC story to life.
I don’t want to make you uncomfortable with this next bit so if it does just disregard this bit - I really like your Catherine of Aragon design and so if it isn’t too much could I ask for a lil doodle of her?
…ima go now
Thank you so much! No worries, here's an Aragon for old times' sake :D
