He saves this hat for special occasions.

Tonight, taking Lainey out on their first real date, he wore it. Because his six-year-old told him to. Because some things are worth dressing up for.

“You wore it.”
“Dean said it was a must.”

This art absolutely nails that moment: the nerves, the heat, the way he can’t stop staring. 😭🤠

Helena & Kaine from Alchemised ✨

It’s been such a long time since I last created a fanart just for fun, and honestly, I missed it so much! 🖤

I’m currently reading Alchemised and this complex, twisted world has already completely pulled me in. I can’t wait to see how it all ends!

Please, no spoilers in the comments! 🙏

A little more from the world of Wandering Queen by @maydawsonbooks 💜

This time, I got to illustrate Duncan and Alisa sparring.

I loved exploring their expressions, their dynamic and everything left unsaid.

It was such a pleasure to dive back into May’s world! ✨

✨ I can finally share this with you! ✨

I’ve been waiting for the right moment to finally show you these endpapers, and I’m so happy I can now share them here on Instagram. 🖤

Created back in February in collaboration with @mondlichtbuecher, these custom endpapers were designed for the first book in @authorkatsingleton ‘s Black Tie Billionaires series.
