Cover art for the upcoming brazilian RPG Kalymba, based on african cultures. Amazing project by Daniel Pirraça and his team!!
This is my first RPG cover, and I it's my very first fantasy art client!
As a white artist I knew I had to do a lot of research for this one and I did. A project like this is necessary and urgent in these times. I did my best to honor the opportunity I was given.
And I'm completely open to criticism of all kinds, because I know I might still have unconscious biases and blind spots. I want to keep improving because I want to paint much more of this.
Whatever I can do to use my skills to help strenghten afrofantasy and afropunk and afrofuturism and the "decolonization of the imagination" they can represent, I will.
