y'all should push for Universal Basic Income 'cuz artists that aren't stressin' over rent and groceries and taxes all the time WILL draw freakier, more unmarketable shit

I'm tinkering, chat. Not because writing is hard or anything. Certainly not that.
A group of travellers pause a while beneath a young tree with curious blue leaves. It stands amidst a dense forest full of ancient, ruinous buildings that nature has long since reclaimed.

I'm closing commissions for a little while. Apologies if you were thinking about ordering something. There's a lot going on again that needs my focus atm. I don't know when they will be back just yet. I am still open to other paid work opportunities.

Digital illustration of a little pug wizard sleeping inside a stone structure, overgrown with vegetation. There are books, jars, and a wizard's staff and hat. There are trees, hills, and clouds outside. It is nighttime and the moon is shining into the little structure.

As I continue to fail at inspiring anyone in the local job market (or any apparently) to hire me, a reminder that I have open commission slots.

I'm Eleonor, a freelance illustrator from Portugal - you can see my work in books (in covers and interiors), card games, and other assorted projects :)
Everything I paint is 100% human-made, as are the occasional bad jokes ✌️

🌟 eleonorpiteira.squarespace.com
Cover illustration for the Special Limited Edition of 'The Odyssey' by Homer painted by Eleonor Piteira for Wraithmarked Creative, showing a strong Odysseus with grey streaks in his hair and short dark beard, wearing golden armour and holding a spear and a shield, while standing in the sun before a mural made of mosaics featuring Athena and ships in the sea. There are branches of olive trees on the foreground. Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira for Astarion, a Baldur's Gate 3 novel, by T. Kingfisher, featuring a white haired man in rich black and red clothes, raising a golden goblet on his hand that overflowing with blood and dripping down. On his other hand he is holding a dagger. The background is red with dark circular markings seemingly dripping down. Haliya, Guided by Light, illustrated by Eleonor Piteira for the Magic: The Gathering set 'Edge of Eternities'. A young black woman dressed in light armour with an orange cape and holding a sci-fi-looking axe, stands triumphantly on top of a pile of dead enemies in dark bulky armours. Behind her there's a flat orange planet against a light purple background with stars, while the silhouette of a ship flies by. Time's End, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a statue of a woman reaching up with light emanating from her hand. On the background there are ruins of a building with plants growing amidst the remnants of a broken stained glass window framing a sky filled with stars.

Sooo, judging by that last reaction (thank you! ❤️), am I to assume this is perhaps the second best thing I've painted in years?

I've done a few of these now, with some amazing clients tasking me with really cool commissions! Anyone else interested?

I could take on another small private LANDSCAPE commission. I'm trying to raise $500 so that would be the ideal budget but if your idea is simple I'm sure a smaller budget is perfectly fine. DMs!

Well that was a nice surprise to wake up to. I didn't expect that reaction. Thank you for the love everyone! <3

Still probably the best thing I've painted in years I reckon.

Today is my birthday. Turned 40, it feels like... a lot.
Thank you all so much for your support! 🥰
The best gift today would be sharing my art.

It’s been awhile since I mentioned that I have a super cool starter pack filled with awesome artists.

So, hey, I have a super cool starter pack willed with awesome artists and it’d be super cool if you followed them. ☺️

Dropping a new commission! The Exemplar Artorius.

Really enjoyed working on this one.

A reminder that I've opened more slots and you can order through my ko-fi page or simply email me. It would mean a great deal to me if I could fill them all. ❤️

An image of an Exemplar from the Pathfinder universe named Artorius. A heroic man who always has a smile. He is using a spark of holy energy, drawn from himself, to imbue his sword with lightning.

Here are 543 images (1.5GB) of items at the Philadelphia Museum of Art arms and armor exhibit

You're free to use them for anything, even commercially. I tried to focus on details not usually represented in available reference material

drive.google.com/file/d/1NRzg...

Here's a small sampling:
A closeup view of an ornate cuirass and tasset, showing heart-shaped designs along the edges of the metal panels. An extremely ornate ceremonial halberd head showing etched and blackened designs with various plants, mythical creatures, and heraldic designs. A closeup of the shoulder intersection of the cuirass, pauldron, and bevor of a piece of 1500s field armor. Some ornate etching of the crucifixion is visible in the lower right corner on the cuirass.
