I'm a little out of time for the second tip for this year's challenge, but I couldn't help not do it.
I think this was one of the most inspiring entries on the entire list and I really enjoyed making it.

•Overgrown cemetery•

Back to traditional for this year's first drawing for the challenge, in the hope of being able to find the time to finish it. 😬
I really love this time of year for all the fantastic artistic ideas that these challenges offer, especially since I don't have much time to draw lately and these little doodles are great to keep doing it.
I'm really happy on how it's turned out
Hope you like it

•Thumbelina•

Poster illustration for the reboot of the movie Thumbelina, made for school a few months ago. The goal was to take a character from our childhood and revisit it, making it more modern.
For this reason I decided to give a more Ya book style to my Thumbelina, making her a tough girl determined to find the land of the fairies.
In the original film Thumbelina is a rather shy and defenseless girl, who in one way or another always finds someone's help. In my version, however, she is determined and autonomous and thanks to her needle sword she is able to face any enemy that comes her way.

No post for a long time, but now I'll try to make it up to you. Guys, it's been an intense few weeks at work and I couldn't find the right time to post this 🤯

• Sleeping Giant •

Illustration done for school with the collaboration of the game design guys, who created this beautiful game.
The giant is the guardian of the world and has three eyes: one for the past, one for the future and one for the present. The giant always sleeps with one of his three eyes open so as not to get lost in his own fantasies, but when he closes all three at the same time he begins to change reality.
For some reason the giant fell asleep with all three eyes closed, so more and more strange things are happening in the world. The aim of the game is to cross all the lands of the map to get to the giant and wake him up.
I loved working on this project and I must say I am satisfied with the result. I really love this palette.

• Orpheus •

Last illustration for the project dedicated to Greek myths.
The story says that Orpheus managed to gain an audience with the god Hades, making a deal with him: he could go back with his wife, on condition that he didn't turn around to check until they reached the outside world.
And so they began their return journey. Orpheus never turned around, keeping his pact, but Eurydice kept calling him.
It was at the very last, at the gates of the underworld, that Orpheus turned around, only to see his wife dragged back and disappearing into the heart of the underworld.
I chose this moment as the last illustration, trying to best represent Orpheus' desperation in front of his choice.
I hope you like it as much as I do, I'm really happy with how the two characters turned out

• Orpheus and Charon •

first illustration of the two dedicated to Orpheus.
According to legends, Orpheus, so in love that he did everything, after his wife's death decides to go down to the underworld to get her back.
In the first part of his journey in Hades he finds Charon, the ferryman of souls, who doesn't want him to pass without anything in return.
Orpheus, having nothing but his lyre, decides to play for him and Charon, enchanted by his music, lets him pass allowing him to continue his journey.

soon the second part of his journey, so stay tuned✨

• Orpheus •
The series dedicated to Greek myths continues, this time with the full-length portrait of Orpheus.
Being a great lyre player I decided to represent him like this, intent on playing something for his wife.
Swipe to see the character design.

hope you like it✨
see you next time ✌️

•Orpheus's portrait•
Second part of the project dedicated to Greek mythology, this time focused on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.
According to history, Orpheus, one of the Argonauts, was a great lyre player. One day his wife Eurydice was bitten by a snake and died, but he, so in love with her, decided to go down to the underworld to get her back.
The second part of the story in the next post✨

•Narciso•

second illustration for the series dedicated to Narciso and Greek myths.
In this scene, as the myth tells, the boy is enraptured by his image reflected in a pool of water, until one day he leans too far trying to kiss that reflection and disappears in the waves. Since that day, the yellow flowers that take their name from him have blossomed by the lake.

It took a while, but I finally managed to post this too, the second part of the project is coming, dedicated to a new legend, guess which one? A little hint: we will go down to the Underworld to recover something lost.

hope you like it✨

•Narcissus and Echo•

First complete illustration for the myths project.
The goal was to depict two evocative scenes from the story.
According to legends Echo was a young nymph in love with Narcissus, a young man who spent his days riding and hunting in the woods, who had no interest in anyone but himself. For this reason Eco hid behind bushes and trees to be able to watch him for as long as possible.

•narciso portrait•

First illustration of a serie dedicated to greek mythology done for sometime ago.

new contents will arrive soon 👀

•Alice•

Alice through the looking glass themed illustration done a few weeks ago.
It's a decidedly different job from my usual, but thanks to this I discovered a new way of working, but above all that I absolutely love doing lineart works.

I hope you like it✨

• fade into antiquity •

last illustration for the series dedicated to magic the gathering.
It is a enchantment card and depicts a very ancient magic sword lost in nature.
Who knows who its owner must have been 👀

This is one of my favorite cards, I loved the initial concept and the sense of mystery it brings.

Hope you like it

• dread linnorm •

seventh card for the series dedicated to the the gathering project done for

This creature card depicts a gigantic snake, so big that it gets tangled up and lost in the thick of the forest where it lives.

• Bontu's monument•

fifth of the eight illustrations done for the project dedicated to magic: the gathering for

It's the first of three "special" cards besides that terrain, to be precise it's an artifact card.
I imagined a colossal statue of a deity towering over the whole realm and its majesty accentuated by sunlight at particular times of day, such as sunset or sunrise.
It has become one of my favorite cards, I love the colors and the little light affects.
hope you like it✨

• white land •

Fifth of the eight illustrations for the project dedicated to magic the gathering for

It's the last land card and being a white land I imagined a series of flying islands immerged in a sea of ​​clouds. Each island retains a somewhat medieval-Gothic aspect, underlined above all by the immense cathedrals that dominate them.

• green land •

Fourth illustration for the project dedicated to magic the gathering.
For this card, being a green land, I tried to create something that was in close contact with nature and that also spoke of magic and sacred and mystical places.
Therefore I chose to create a sort of fairy circle made with monoliths engraved in an ancient language now lost.

• blue land •
third illustration for the project inspired by magic the gathering.
I imagined a wandering island on which stands a very ancient tower, full of lost tomes and volumes.
Only those who manage to reach the island will be able to obtain the knowledge they crave. 👀
This is by far one of my favorites, both for the colors and for the general rendering. And then, let's face it, I love those little yellow flowers on the sides, aren't they so cute?

•black land•

second illustration for the project inspired by magic: the gathering done for

for the black land I imagined a sort of crypt/catacomb which can be accessed from a series of tunnels and in the center of which there is a sacrificial altar, which was (probably) recently used for a black magic rite.

I hope you enjoyed it ✨

• Red land •

First of a series of illustrations for a school project inspired by "magic: the gathering" cards.
This illustration is dedicated to the red lands and it has become one of my favorites even though I have to admit that I struggled a lot with the lava, but in the end I think it was worth it, so I hope you like it as much as I do.✌️

A little personal work before starting to post some of the work I did for the Academy.✌️
This is something I did in my spare time some time ago and only now I realized I've never posted it.
She's an oc of mine for a story I have in mind and which I hope to be able to bring to life soon. She's still with no name, so any suggestion Is appreciated👀

•🌹Legend🌹 •
from Caraval books by

first attempt for a personal bookish tarot project.
I think it's the perfect magician for these cards, although I think the decoration of the card needs to be reviewed once the whole project is put together🤔
many more characters will come later👀

last work of the year, I wish everyone a happy new year, full of dreams come true✨
