I had the pleasure of illustrating the monster “Eclipse.” Born from the ruin of a fallen celestial, the Eclipse is the wretched shadow of a once‑radiant being, twisted by corruption and despair. Once a servant of the sun, it was cast into darkness through betrayal, punishment, or a curse lost to time. Stripped of its divine essence, it became a hollow, hungering thing, forever seeking to reclaim the light it once embodied. But no matter how much radiance it devours, it can never fill the void within, its form an empty husk where celestial fire once burned.

Collaborating closely with writer Pasta who provided the creature’s lore, abilities, and narrative framework to translate solar‑charged powers into a dynamic digital painting. Through iterative sketch exchanges and feedback loops, we refined the vibe, colors and overall aesthetic.
