Illustration work

My main style : realistic fantasy illustrations

Lineart based work

I also do some simpler work too, based on strong lineart and simpler rendering.

Traditional work

I am also learning oil and acrylics on the side.
Please note that I am only working digitaly for client, while I haven't bring my traditional work to the level of my digital one.

Stone Witches is an invitation to discover the beauty of rocks and minerals through art and poetry.
By combining art and science, I share my passion for stones with every reader.

I started Stone Witches in 2023 as an illustration project where I explored ways to symbolically represent stones and their properties. It is also an opportunity for me, as a geologist, to share my knowledge of rocks and minerals. For each piece of art, I complement my existing knowledge with additional investigation and attempt to highlight interesting facts about the stones. In the end, each piece of art comes with some scientific vulgarisation, briefly introducing each stone.

I drew and wrote every part of this series, but it would never have seen the light of day without my incredible friend Nadg, who is doing the proofreading and layout, and is even helping me with some artistic decisions!

Stone Witches - Volume 1

In February 2024, I ran a successful Kickstarter campaign giving birth to a small zine that mixes poetry, geology and illustration. This was the first release of Stone Witches, featuring 10 illustrations, poetry and short scientific presentations.

Stone Witches - Volume 2

Stone Witches is still ongoing, and I am now working on a second, more detailed volume. I am hoping to include 37 witches in this new volume. I have already created 17 of them and I hope to have finished them all by fall 2027. For this second series, I am trying to incorporate more scientific facts into my art and showcase a wider variety of minerals.

I am a freelance artist based in France working under the pseudo Elwyn Rain (previoulsy Ewylana Art). I love to draw fantasy and TTRPG illustrations. I mostly draw medieval fantasy and sometimes retrofuturistic universes, taking inspiration from my TTRPG games. My favourite subject to paint in the medieval fantasy genre is dwarves!I am also a geologist passionate about rocks and fossils, which I love to include in my drawings.I am mostly self-taught, but I participated in some of mentorship programmes under the guidance of Paul Scott Canavan, Onyrica and Indicreates, which helped me to further develop my skills.I am currently seeking freelance opportunities in the TTRPG and TGC fields as well as for book covers art, for spring and summer 2026. I have previously worked for Posidonia JDR, Posidonia Jeunesse, a couple self-published authors and multiple published fanzine.Please email me if you have any questions — I would be really happy to work with you!

Springtime Hope

This artwork is a personal project that I completed following Paul Scott Canavan's Bootcamp brief again, this time on my own. My initial idea was to draw a cute family composed of two dwarves and two cows, with the mother-child dynamics mirroring each other.

Anomalocaris Rider

This artwork was created during Paul Scott Canavan’s Mastering Imaginative Realism Bootcamp. The brief was to create a piece in the style of a Magic: The Gathering hero's card, depicting a character and their animal companion within the theme of 'The Great Hunt'. I chose to depict strange merfolk in a world inspired by Cambrian fossils.

Lun's Journey

This artwork was created under the guidance of Indicreates with the aim of creating a mocks up book cover. I used one of my original characters as inspiration, but took the opportunity to update her design. The mockup layout was done by my friend Nadg.

The Dawn After

In 2024, I drew some fan art based on World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, inspired by one of my drawings from my teenage years. While this genderbend version of Deathwing is far from being canon, I loved it and wanted to revisit it and develop it further. First, I enlarged the original drawing and made some adjustments before deciding to repaint it entirely, creating this artwork.

Anomalocaris Wanderer

After working on a strange mermaid riding cambrian creatures for MIR bootcamp, I wanted to go back to this concept.

It was the occasion to revisit the mermaid and her mount design too, pushing for stronger colors.
