I work with erotic but not explicit sexual content only in illustrated scenes or endpapers but not in covers. I work content for all types of couples, heterosexual and LGBTQ+.
About illustrated scenesI work illustrated scenes of all kinds, loaded with a lot of emotion, death, battle, etc. There is no particular theme that I don't work, except for illustrated scenes of explicit sexual or violent content.
About content with fantastic creatures or monstersI work on bestiaries and character design of creatures or monsters for fantasy books. Also, I illustrate romantic couples between creatures/humanoids and/or humans, as long as the creature is a human with abilities to become a fantastic creature or monsters, such as: faes, demons, angels, vampires, werewolves, shifters of different natures, tritons, etc. But not animals that are humanized for sexual content.
About fanartsI work fanarts about stories that follow the above mentioned characteristics.
