✨ Welcome! ✨

Didn’t realise I could pin posts until now 😅 so I thought I’d make a welcome post.

I’m Dea, a freelance illustrator from Malta. I mostly do character focused illustration and cover art for books and TTRPGs, and I generally just love painting most things fantasy! (and also a lot of fanart).

Don’t have much to post right now so here are some old sketches

some studies of fabric/folds

more mouths/teeth from immagination this time (fantasy edition). Wanted to try applying some of what I learned from the studies I posted last time.

some mouth/teeth studies from photo reference

I still struggle to draw open mouths from imagination so this was some much needed practice.

Process shots:

Lift and Wyndle for the Cosmere RPG!

This was the first ever piece of official Cosmere art that I did back in 2023.

AD: Johnny O'Neal

wtf. I’ve been going through my old posts (for tag organisation purposes) and I just realised I somehow forgot to post Scanlan’s version of these sketches that I had done of VM years ago! 😱 I posted it everywhere else but not here for some reason 🤦‍♀️

Anyway, here it is… 2 years late.

Bucky study from Civil War

I’ve been on a bit of a Marvel high since Thunderbolts (which I absolutely loved) so I’ve been rewatching some of my favourite MCU movies.

(Sidenote: Sebastian Stan’s likeness is really hard to get right for some reason wtf)
