In the Elders’ Hall
Starting off another Nevermoor piece – this one from Wundersmith. Morrigan waits in the Elders’ hall surrounded by some very strange statues. The Wundrous Society always seemed a bit dodgy, […]

The arachnipod

Morrigan and the Wundersmith

Shadow puppets
“I’m… gonna make…” Hawthorne said, his tongue sticking out the side of his mouth as he bent his fingers into a complicated, unrecognisable shape, “…a dragon.” Another illustration from Nevermoor, […]

The hunt and the bonesmen

Morrigan and the plate of parsnips
Morrigan Crow eating lamb and parsnips – her ‘last supper’ prior to her impending death (foiled, of course, by Jupiter North). I sketched this ages ago and did nothing more […]

The Hunt of Smoke and Shadow
