Illustrations & Characters.

Watercolour & oil-inspired illustrations & character art by Sapha Burnell. I focus on fantasy & science fiction, with an ink-liner feel and watercolour inspired colours for the majority of my work. Need art to enrich your world, but don’t want AI? Want a cover design?

Cutthroat: Gruelling Jail

A TTRPG Mini-Game by KS Bishoff, Gruelling Jail needed some enemy designs. I used gargoyles and animals as inspiration for the creatures drawn here. Check out Gruelling Jail to see my work and play a fun game.

Dustria

An epic fantasy novel by Madhurika Sankar, Dustria craved some chapter headings for each of the three Parts. As this project was black and white for the interior of a novel, I kept the illustrations to a simple palette and maintained that home-sketched style.

Digital Desires

An upcoming sci-fi poetry collection by AJ Dalton, and set to be published by House of Hallowes, we needed some art to separate the various sections of the collection. I took a deeply line-art worthy approach, to evoke some of the imagery from AJ’s incredible poetry.
