King Charles III Royal Coronation Coin
The King Charles III Royal Coronation Coin (nonlegal) design radiates regal splendor. I illustrated the portrait of King Charles III to emulate a traditional royal effigy, all before the Royal Mint officially released one to the public. The result is an impressive product that people can purchase as a collectible non-monetary item.
Numenor Coat of Arms (Lord of the Rings)
Numenor is an antiquated nation in the Lord of the Rings. There is no official coat of arms for the nation, so I created an in-universe coat of arms that is designed in the traditional style of heraldry with specific details that emphasize the history and glory of Numenor.
Rivendell Coat of Arms (Lord of the Rings)

Rivendell is a valley in Lord of the Rings, which is home to elves. There is no official coat of arms for Rivendell. The design I created takes inspiration from various elements like Elrond's emblem and crown. The broken Narsil sword, housed at Rivendell, is in the center with a heraldic elvish helmet atop the shield. The quote is taken from the book as a description of the valley.
Exploring America

This concept illustration includes Esteban de Dorantes, a Spanish conquistador and Native Americans venturing into America. Esteban de Dorantes, also known as Estevanico, was the first person of African descent to explore America. He was the only one in his expedition capable of communicating with several Native Americans.
Alien Snow Globe

This concept illustration of an Alien snow globe includes the iconic egg with illuminated veins and a pattern base that imitates the interior of the space ship.
