The Water Boy, poster color on watercolor paper, 7.5 x 8.75 inches. Available.

Raquel Torres could barely breathe. She doubled over, a panting, sweat-soaked mess surrounded by the flaming ruins of a city she'd been called upon to protect. Well, the monster was dead, so that was something. Besides, everything here could be rebuilt; the advance warning should have given everyone more than enough time to…Raquel let out a puff of air somewhere between a laugh and a sigh. The advance warning. There'd been two blips—her work was only half done. She slowed her breathing, steeled herself to push on with limbs that were already screaming from exhaustion.

Something broke the silence only a few blocks away. It took several seconds for Raquel to realize that it was the bassy horn of a semi-truck. Of course, to her, it sounded dinky, shrill. Comical, even. Hands still on her knees, she rose her head up, blew the bangs from her eyes. There, up the street, were two pinpricks of artificial light carefully winding their way around the debris. In a dead city lit only by sporadic fires and the spotlight of the support helicopter overhead, there was no mistaking them. They stopped, and a few moments later the red beacon of a road flare burst to life. At this distance, and with over 200 feet of height separating them, Raquel couldn't make out which driver had come to her aid. She'd just have to thank them all when she got back to HQ. That tanker held approximately 10,000 gallons of sugar, caffeine, electrolytes, and even a potent painkiller, and she was going to need every drop.

This is hands down my most ambitious poster color/gouache painting yet! Let me know what you think—I really gave this one my all!

This is an illustration for the forthcoming Vigilant Lioness Tabletop Game. Make sure to check out the card mock up here on my site! Just scroll down a bit depending on what device you're viewing on. If you'd like to help playtest the game as well as support my work, consider joining me over on Patreon! I just updated and simplified the tiers to offer even more benefits for less! I simply wouldn't be able to continue doing what I do without the support of my patrons. Thank you so much to everyone who supports my art on Patreon for making this piece possible!

I was fortunate enough to be invited to participate in the Eclectic Majestic online exhibition hosted by WOWxWOW out of the UK. Check out the show here! There's a ton of awesome work from artists all over the world featured. The show is going on now until August 25th!

I've been focusing on my art full time for a year now (!), and purchasing my art is a great way to support my work and allow me to keep making this stuff. Purchase my book, prints, original art, pins, and more here at my store!
