Foiled artworks

One of my favorite things to draw and design is foiled artwork! Here's a select few of my foiled art prints.

Illustrations

I'm well-versed in drawing horror, dark academia, or fantasy, although I am always open to challenge myself and draw for other genres! I also draw NSFW. No matter what the subject is, I always put full effort into making the illustration the best that it can be.

I would love to work with you!

Hi, Fairyloot!

I'm Jhoanna Kay, or Chiqui, and I've been a fan of your book box for the longest time! Working with you as a Junior Designer would be a dream come true.I have been a creative designer for more than 10 years and have worked on various projects including magazines, posters, and even website and videos. I am well-versed in Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.I have also been a freelance illustrator for 4 years and have worked with both authors and other book boxes. This includes formatting my designs for print or other formatting requirements by the manufacturer (e.g.: enamel pins).Here are some fake book covers I made using my own art or royalty free stock photos that I edited together, and some foiled art prints I designed myself and had printed via a third party printer. You can click on the thumbnail to see the full version!You can also view my full artist portfolio at jkleal.com, where I have included some client work.Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you!
