a collage of three of my digital illustrations Left : Cover illustration for "Out of True" by Rien Gray. Two hands are holding onto a disintegrating sword, a dark forest in the background. Middle : A digital illustration of two people holding hands (actually dancing but it's not clear in the painting). One hand is pale and blueish, with long dark claws. The other hand is more human-like and veiny, with some deep scars further down the arm. There's also a frame made of gnarly branches, with the image of a crow, a snake and the crescent moon engraved in the wood. Right : A digital illustration of hands clutching a sword, surrounded by vegetation. One of the hands has a stylized dragon tattoo on the wrist.
