The Song of Achilles - fanart book cover

The Song of Achilles - fanart book cover

I recently participated in Winona Nelson's SmArtschool class/mentorship, and this was my assignment: Choose a favorite book and illustrate a cover for it. (this is a wraparound, so the right side is the front cover, middle is spine, and left side is the back cover.)

I picked "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, and my goal was to capture a similar bittersweet tone as the novel has.

Guardian of the Swans - fanart by me

Hi! I'm Kristina, a freelance illustrator with a focus on fantasy and history subjects, mostly in the bookish space. Lately I've been working hard on my skills because I also want to draw for Magic: The Gathering some day.

This illustration is based on a Magic-style card art prompt from Winona Nelson's Smarterartschool class (an online illustration mentorship class that I recently participated in) - it's an assignment that works the same as a real MTG illustration gig. This one is a "White Creature" and the mood is "I am as unbreakable as our ancient institution, and due the same respect."
