Surrounded by a simple black frame, with the MORPHA logo as the header, is a closeup of my illustration for an ocean-themed creature design artbook. It shows a red, crablike limb and hand grasping a gleaming fishhook. Several other limbs are raised in unison against a muddy red shell. They each cast dramatic dark shadows

Against a deep, royal-blue background are fine line drawings in yellow of ocean-themed motifs. The central piece is a swordfish tail flanked by coral and seaweed. Other motifs include trinkets such as an amphora, a goblet, necklaces, a pipe, rings, coins, a handheld mirror, a comb with bird heads, a conch, a shell, and a short sword.
A digital illustration with a slightly muted colour palette depicting a blonde, long-haired man holding a woman in his arms. She has long yellow hair running down her back and is wrapped in a muted green blanket. She’s crying quietly with her eyes staring blankly ahead, static with worry and fear. He presses his face into her head, hiding his own expression, although a tear escapes his only visible eye. They are clearly comforting one another, as if in a last embrace.
A digital painting of a white unicorn with a crest-like mane standing in a tranquil forest surrounded by branches, leaves, and drooping vines. She stands with her back to us so we see the curve of her neck as she turns her head. Her horn glows white and there is a sparkle on its tip. The colours are quite a dusky monochrome with some details of red, pink, purple and blue in the foliage.
Two drawings of a monstrous batlike humanoid drinking blood from the neck of a girl. The caption reads “BOTH OF US SURRENDER, VANISH INTO OURSELVES”
Sprawl of postcards featuring a white horse with an ornate saddle and bridle.
A maximalist, monochrome digital illustration starring a number of fictional characters from my Curse of Strahd (Dungeons & Dragons) game with an ornate frame of leaves and animals associated with the occult. As featured, carrying various props: Thistle the flying imp (holding a tiny knife), Mitts the undead pugilist (wielding a shiny golden knuckleduster), Mina the vampire (dressed in decorative armour with a glowing sun-like medallion), Aerimil the elf-turned-Hexblood (holding an evil crystal heart and guarded by four glowing white moths) and finally Mallory the witch, accompanied by a huge raven (with a black embossed tome in her arms).
A square, mirrored illustration of two griffins sitting opposite each other, their forepaws touching and wings tucked in. Their back legs are blue, scaled and clawed like a bird’s. Their tails are long, catlike and feathered with a tuft of white fur on the end. Surrounding them are decorative black chains and golden leaves on twisting vines to complement their forms. In the middle hangs a symmetrical branch of golden leaves pouting upwards. Above their paws, hovering between their heads, is a small golden sun with long stylised rays. The overall colour scheme is brown, yellow, cream and blue.
A closeup of a woman’s hands. All her fingers are stained black. Her left arm clasps a worn leather book to her chest. Her right hand has a knife of bone coming from her forearm. A black liquid seeps from her fingers and rises as if gravity is reversed.
A 3/4 view of a bearded man with a loose fitting white shirt and a small pirate-like earring.
Five headshot sketches of a monkey-looking creature with vestigial insectoid wings in various styles over his face. Three drawings are face-on, the other two are profile and 3/4.
Mojo the African Grey parrot in his owner's backpack.
A sepia dry point illustration of a knight in profile, down to his waist. He wears a decorated German sallet helmet with the visor down. Only his eyes are visible.
Working sketch - a woman in medieval clothing, whose long fair hair is plaited into chain-like tresses, sits for a portrait with a sword in her right hand. The blade runs with blood, staining her left hand and some of her hair. Behind her head is the motif of a dragon painted on the wall. Clinging to a curtain in the background is a tiny bat.

The cover for my first comic, The Blood Visit. Stylised vines and leaves decorate the top and bottom of the page against a black and brown backdrop. Two characters face one another in profile view - the vampire Duchess at the heart of the story, and the white-furred monster she turns into.
A monochrome digital painting of three women in a moody gothic nighttime scene. A castle lurks in the background on a mountain. The blonde woman on the right carries a glowing sword and wears a medieval era dress. The woman on the left wears Victorian era outdoor gear and a billowing leaf cape. In the centre is the youngest figure, trapped between the two and looking uncertain of their intent. Positioned above their heads are a moon and two stars.
A timelapse video showing the sped-up creative process of a digital illustration, showing two symmetrical golden griffins surrounded by chains and dried yellow leaves.
An aqua-green coloured sketch of a four-legged serpentine dragon. He coils back on himself, stuffed into the square-shaped canvas with his wings dragging along the floor. Unfriendly and suspicious-looking, he eyes the viewer with a raised claw draped in jewellery. Coins and other precious pieces including a helmet lie under him. An arrow from a past struggle sticks out of the base of his tail. His tail is long, scaly, and barbed on the end.
A pale-skinned vampire woman, long wavy blonde hair and yellow eyes, looks up in surprise at the man in front of her. He is taller, younger-looking, with a mop of blonde curls and a sad expression, wearing a simple leather blue jerkin and white shirt. The vampire lady is wearing bronze coloured armour: chain mail sleeves and pauldrons decorated with a complex, twisting floral design. They are surrounded by a rough painted texture.
A detailed illustration angled from below showing a winged, vampiric creature leaping from a gothic dormer into the night sky. Thick dark clouds are illuminated by a crescent moon, stars scattered behind them. The creature’s wings are white and membranous.
A portrait view of a woman, her back turned to us, as she unties a black ribbon tying her corset together. Her blonde hair is long and flows over one shoulder; a plait has come loose and has begun to unravel. Her ears are pointed, her nose aquiline, and her eyes a pale yellow. She half-turns to meet the gaze of the viewer. A glowing, reddish aura separates her from the black background.
A sepia-toned digital illustration depicting a bat-like monster with membranous wings outstretched. She approaches a stylised gothic window, and her fur is white, ears triangular and pointed. Her eyes are large and enquiring as she looks over her shoulder towards to make direct eye contact with the viewer, while an off-camera source of candlelight throws a looming shadow on the curtains behind the vampire.
An orange and peach-colour illustration of a woman with her back to the viewer, looking at us out of the corner of her eye as she peeks over her shoulder. She is untying a corset from behind. Her hair is loose, and a plait near her ear has come undone. Her eyes are yellow and her ears are pointed, showing her to be a vampire.
A sepia monochromatic illustration of three hands in a transformational sequence. The uppermost hand is soft and feminine but will long nails; the middle hand has elongated proportions, and the final hand is larger, thicker and lightly haired, the taloned fingers curled slightly.
Monochrome illustration, featuring a close-up of a woman in a black dress holding a longsword to another woman in front of her. They are separated by a flurry of leaves, but are otherwise pressed close together. The cropping of the image does not show their faces.
A sepia tone dry point etching of a woman’s head and shoulders at a 3/4 angle. Her dress has a decorative hem and exposes her collarbone. Her pale hair is loosely tied back with plaits. She stares ahead with very pale eyes, a relaxed and thoughtful expression on her face.
A square, mirrored illustration of two griffins sitting opposite each other, their forepaws touching and wings tucked in. Their back legs are blue, scaled and clawed like a bird’s. Their tails are long, catlike and feathered with a tuft of white fur on the end. Surrounding them are decorative black chains and golden leaves on twisting vines to complement their forms. In the middle hangs a symmetrical branch of golden leaves pouting upwards. Above their paws, hovering between their heads, is a small golden sun with long stylised rays. The overall colour scheme is brown, yellow, cream and blue.
A monochrome drawing of a small frog-man reclining on a mushroom throne with vines to support his back. He has one arm draped across his stomach, while his other hand raises a cracked teacup to the viewer. He wears a large mushroom as a broad-rim hat and various pieces of bone, wood and rags for armour. His travelling stick and pack lean against one another. Bugs and snails crawl and fly across him, as if drawn to his peaceful presence.
Sketchy monochrome drawing of a bat-like creature staring at the viewer at a 3/4 angle. It has a ruff of thick fur, large pointed ears, a wrinkly upturned snout and tiny gleaming eyes. It is impossible to read its mood or intention.
A digital drawing with monochrome colours of an alien-looking woman staring curiously at you. She has four almond shaped eyed and a fifth in the middle of her forehead, pupils slit like a snake’s. She has long pale hair flowing in a breeze and two white tentacles running from her forehead. She is raising a hand thoughtfully to her face. In her chest, where the dress has left it exposed, sits a gaping circular hole that passes right through her. Her ears are very large and pointed with holes in the earlobes.
A digital illustration of two men embracing, one behind the other. The one in the foreground has ghostly blue skin and floating white hair; he raises his hand to touch the arm of his partner. His robes are dark blue with a faint pattern of diamonds and circles. The other individual, scruffy haired and bearded, is covered in tattoos - a group of diamonds and a snake - and makes eye contact with a mischievous smile.
The face and shoulders of an aquatic looking woman, her face and throat white, the rest of her a mustard yellow striped with teal green. Her hair is made up of flattened tendrils like seaweed descending from her scalp, and her eyes are closed serenely.
A collection of stickers featuring brightly coloured mushrooms, a small dagger with rabbit heads as the crossbar, a black cat, boars, and three humanoid creatures (a goblin, a fish man, and a satyr).
A sketch drawing of a woman floating in water, cupping her hand to greet a small stripy wrasse that has swum up to her face. She is surrounded by a small variety of other fish. She is clothed in a simple white dress with a belt made of shells, and has a tiny star necklace. Her hair is voluminous and resembles water - in this version, it is filled with a simple watercolour-style wash of bright blue.
A sketchy digital drawing of a winged dragon soaring above us, giving us a view of her underside as she adjusts her altitude. The head, atop a coiled neck, is tilted very slightly to have her looking down at you from the corner of her eye. Her wings are spread open; a few grazes and cuts have damaged the membranes but they are broad and powerful. Her long tail flies out behind her in an elegant arc, topped with sharp spines that echo the ones on her head and back.
A profile view of a black Oriental shorthair cat looking upwards. Its fur is rich and glossy. The eyes are icy blue and its whiskers stick outward, alert. The background is a blue-to-brown coloured gradient.
A monochromatic, softly sepia illustration depicting three women in front of a gloomy gothic landscape. A castle lurks atop a mountain to the right, poking the clouds above. The woman in the middle looks torn between the attentions of the individuals either side of her. She wears a plain white shirt and has long hair and silver hooped earrings. The woman to her left wears smart Victorian fashions of a long coat, frilled shirt and a cape of leaves that flows across the page as if enchanted; gaze impassive, she holds the woman in the middle possessively by her wrist. The woman on the right is a blonde vampire in a plain, black, medieval-looking dress and cape. She brandishes a glowing longsword in her right hand, as if pledging her service. Above the central girl is a glowing white moon, and a star hangs about the heads of the other two women.
A digital painting of five fluorescent jellyfish floating amongst a black background. A dense wash of tiny bubbles fills the negative space between them.
A roster of 22 colourful characters, all in profile view facing right. Amongst the cast is a pink cat in a bow, a zombie, a lizard in a wizard hat, a pink fish woman with coral for hair, a fish man with dark green and black fins, a raven-folk with a green necktie, two satyrs, a Minotaur, and many other stylised humanoids of varying sexes, ethnicities, and ages.
A symmetrical illustration depicting lines, insect wings, dots and swirls in a strange and randomised pattern. The background is a peachy-yellow colour with bright lilac highlights on some of the details. The linework of the shapes is black.
A white anthropomorphic cat leaps upward, wielding a pink staff with a black star crystal encircled by metal and four small wings. He wears a pink suit with a pink bow, and his eyes are pink too. At his side is a Dachsbun, a small dog that looks like it’s made out of toasted bread buns. Behind the two is a big pink heart-shaped bubble, set against a dark turquoise background.
