This past year was pretty busy with all sorts of goings on. That's not to say I didn't have an opportunity to create some art. My Day job kept me pretty busy on that front, but there were a few projects I got to sneak in here and there for some friends and family. This past summer, a dear family friend of ours, the talented
Ms. Julien Jamar asked if I could chip in with helping her out with some illustrations to supplement her ongoing project
The Namarielle. This is a passion project of hers and the First Book in her series sees print this February. I'm super excited to share it with others! If you are a fan of the YA Fantasy genre please check it out! You can find the kindle version
here!
Anyways here's some Namarielle art to browse. Enjoy!

Elian concept...still didn't have his face down, but his outfit was a hit with Julien :D |
