Another shameless Babel closeup ๐Ÿฅฐโœจ So many little tidbits went into this design. The whispering mouths, of course, represent the translators at the heart of the story. The weird molecule thing is a model of the molecular structure of silver. The flowers are inspired by imported textile patterns from China in the 1800s. The eye ๐Ÿ‘ is an allusion to the โ€œbig brotherโ€ sense that you are always under surveillance. And tons and tons of others, but those are just the ones from the crop ๐Ÿ˜… . . . . #bookstagram #babel #rfkuang #procreateart #bookart #foxandwit #illustration #booktok #book #booklover #bookworm #books #bookish #art #illustrator #artwork

Illustration for A Fate Inked in Blood for @the.arcane.society ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›๐ŸŒŒ I had so much fun with this one, and Iโ€™m so grateful to The Arcane Society for all the creative freedom! I immediately wanted to do something with the Nordic interwoven-animal style. If you scroll to the last slide you can see my first sketch on butcher paper, as well as some of my Pinterest inspo pins! I just love how it turned out! #illustration #bookish #thearcanesociety #afateinkedinblood
