Mona works as a commercial illustrator and loves to draw fantasy scenes, detailed characters and floral shapes. Her artwork often has a melancholic feel, though she mostly aims for a sense of calm.
“Inspired by Elden Ring, I wanted to draw a priestess and go wild with details. I also wanted to imply importance and danger.”
“A repaint of an older drawing of the same name. I wanted to capture an untold love story frozen in time with this piece.”
“Similar to A Forgotten Love Story, this shows the remnants of a story. A mermaid is crushing on the only man around.”

Nicole is a Savannah College of Art and Design graduate who specialises in fantasy. Influenced by Alphonse Mucha, N.C. Wyeth and J.C. Leyendecker, she loves doing pieces at the intersection of flat graphic design and realism.
“The Celtic war goddesses and their crows are always an enjoyable subject for me, and this piece allowed me to explore using knotwork as a design element.”
“I find Persephone, the goddess of the underworld, fascinating, so I painted her with the poisonous plants nightshade and datura, and the dead as her retinue.”
“I absolutely adore arabesque designs, and this piece let me experiment with using them as an element of the background.”
“This image was a fun exploration of what a courtly, showy outfit could look like when used for a sorcerer character.”

Jose has been working as a sculptor for 22 years for the Spanish collectible company Lladró. He has art directed countless projects, overseeing every stage from initial ideas to the moodboards, designs and scripts.
“I tried to square the illustration here. It’s from a collection I call Cube, and working in this format was a challenge.”
“This illustration is an old one. The drawing was done in pencil and painted over with Photoshop. I always like to give my characters their own personality, especially when I draw children.”
“I really enjoyed creating this piece. It was made for a character design challenge, and it proved popular with the public too. I think we all know a lady that has this expression on her face.”
“I’ve always loved the aesthetics you find in Mexican wrestling, and it had been a long time since I’d done a fully handmade illustration.”
“For this piece, I wanted to create a funny moment by contrasting the brutality of the Hulk against the delicacy of threading a needle.”
