I provide a variety of illustration services, always 100% hand-drawn, original, and unique.
Get to know me
As an illustrator and designer, I specialize in creating unique, hand-drawn artwork for authors, focusing on fantasy and romance themes, including covers, maps, and custom illustrations.
I have a background in design, having studied architecture at university. My studies have informed my process, and I like to work in an iterative fashion - checking in with clients regularly from concept to completion, refining as we go. You never get the best result on the first try, so I believe revision is key - all my prices include scope for multiple rounds of edits and adjustments to produce illustrations you love.
Using exlusively illustration means that anything comissioned by me is completely unique - you won't find anything like it anywhere else. Unlike with photo manipulation, where many covers may use the same stock photos, there's no chance of the same model or motif cropping up when your cover is fully illustrated. Also, stock photography sites are increasingly populated with AI generated imagery that isn't always labelled - hand illustration means you know your cover is 100% human made.
As well as my design practice, I'm also an indie author myself. I self-published my first novel last year and am still getting to grips with the world of self-publishing from the writer's side of things! I understand first hand how challenging publishing can be and I know that eye catching covers and special artwork can go the extra mile towards getting your work into readers hands.

As illustrator and designer for my fantasy series, Rhiannon has always produced great work. From the fantasy world map to royal crests to full page illustrations, every project was approached with a uniquely creative eye for detail. I would always highly recommend Rhiannon to a friend or colleague, whether they are looking for map design, a book cover or internal illustration.
