I'm Pippin, I'm an illustrator based in Birmingham in the United Kingdom.I trained in animation and have since expanded my skillset to include illustration, graphic design, and digital painting.I can often be found at UK conventions promoting my work and selling handmade and unique merchandise!While I have work usually focused on character design, I have been expanding my passions into music by crafting abstract and conceptual pieces inspired by albums.

Blackest Night is an published zine of over thirty artists and writers, inspired by Dark Knights in FFXIV.I worked as a curator and project manager to the collaboration, as well as contributing works of my own.On the right is my short comic exploring the inner workings of a villain, taking an alternative, sympathetic stance on his motivations and character arc.I also contributed an illustration in a style I have exercised in other work, a lone central figure with an emphasis on the mood and atmosphere of the scene.For a stretch goal, I created several sticker designs featuring core symbolism featured in the original text.The project was a great success, selling over three-hundred copies worldwide, and with the added pleasure of working with a wonderful collection of other artists and writers!

Thief of Hearts is a fan game for the Juno Steel series of audio dramas on The Penumbra Podcast.The game saw wide success with over 1000 downloads within a week of release, and the cast of The Penumbra Podcast livestreaming the game with a fully voiced playthrough of the visual novel.The player chooses which character to date (Rex Glass, Duke Rose, Perseus Shah, or…) each night. In the mornings, follow Juno on wacky shenanigans with his secretary Rita, go on wild dates that often don’t go as planned, and make decisions along the way!I worked as a character artist, layout artist, writer and project manager. I was delighted to be part of the project, and not only worked on my own responsibilities but helped with everything from writing to assisting with code to make the game a success!
