RacheL PerciphonE
My name is Rachel Perciphone and I love to illustrate strong, diverse characters within fantastical and colorful worlds. I am most heavily inspired by mythology, fairytales, folklore, and fantasy. I also find a lot of inspiration in music and nature, as well as comics and science fiction. The foundation of my work begins with a detailed pencil drawing and I use a mix of digital and traditional media to paint the finished piece. I use symbolism, shape, and supernatural elements to explore narratives and showcase the idea that beauty and inner strength is both multifaceted and plentiful.
