Digital illustration for romantic fantasy — the lovers, the dragons, the magic. I bring characters and book covers to life with darkness and bloom, shadows and shimmer, the haunting and the beautiful.

What I Create
Full-figure character illustrations that bring your character to life — expression, outfit, and mood, all rendered with detailed rendering.
The slow burn, the embrace, the tension. Emotionally charged illustrations of your pairings and pivotal moments — set in lush, detailed backgrounds that bring the lore of your book to life. Whether it's dark and brutal or bright and magical, I bring the atmosphere you need.
Custom illustrated covers and promotional art for indie authors — designed to fit romantasy genre expectations while stopping the scroll.
Selected Work
A little look at what I've been making lately — book projects for indie authors, some personal pieces, and a few fanarts I couldn't resist. Tap any image to see it bigger.
How It Works
Tell me about your story, characters, and the mood you're after. References welcome — clear vision or blank slate, both work.
I reply within a day or the next day. Then we'll figure it all out together — the details, the timeline, the price, and anything else you're wondering about. Nothing gets skipped.
You'll get the first sketch within a week. We'll go back and forth until the composition feels right. Then I'll guide you through line art → flat colours (change any colour you like) → full render (small adjustments only). Just honest progress, step by step, together. The minimum turnaround time is 2 weeks; the maximum is 1 month.
You receive high-resolution files ready to publish, print, or share — your art, your story.

The Promise
The Artist
— but you may know me as Pinky Kei. I'm a digital illustrator in love with romantic fantasy and dark romance: the drama, the danger, the impossible longing, the slow burn — and my absolute favourite, enemies to lovers. My work lives in that space between tenderness and darkness, where readers like us feel at home.
I'm self-taught (though I had a few art-school years as a child). I found my way back to drawing only after university, in 2019, when I wanted to bring my own fanfiction characters to life. That spark never went away. Now I help authors do the same: bring their characters and stories into the light.
