What makes Lux Vestra Art different from another Digital Artist?
When you're looking for a unique custom illustration for your fantasy book, do you go to an artist based solely on how you like their work? Or do you seek the design services of a digital artist who specialises in fantasy, loves the genre and whose work you admire?When you choose me as your digital artist, you're not just getting another illustrator. You're partnering with a fellow fantasy enthusiast who understands the nuances of the genre. My passion for fantasy isn't just a hobby - it's an integral part of my work. Every stroke, every pixel is imbued with that love and understanding, resulting in art that doesn't just depict a scene, but tells a story. So, when you're looking for someone to bring your fantasy book to life, why settle for generic when you can have bespoke, passionate, and genre-specific artistry?
>> Say no more, let's do this <<
It's one thing to create great looking images, but I take it further with illustrations that invokes the magic and energy of the story you want to tell
"Working with Lux Vestra Art was a delightful experience, the interaction between the client and artist couldn't be more smooth.
The artwork itself was highly detailed and I was more than impressed how he managed to bring my requested character to life so beautifully. You're going to get your money's worth and then some!"

Your Digital Artist, Transforming Your Ideas Into Stunning Visual Realities
✧ Digital Fantasy Artist | Illustrator ✧
Hi I'm Henry, a freelance Digital Artist based in London. I specialise in fantasy character art and I help people capture their ideas by creating unique pieces of artwork and turn it into reality.I grew up playing RPGs like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, both of which created lasting memories that shaped my life and accelerated my passion for art and the fantasy genre. I often admire the design of a poster, a cover for a video game, a book or even a record album and feel captivated by it. The feeling of being enthralled and invested in the worlds, its characters and the stories they tell. That's why I love the expression that comes with making fantasy art, the freedom to creatively transform concepts into visual narratives is a feeling like no other.I want the art we create to remind you what it’s like to be immersed in the fantasy worlds of your most beloved stories, the way you fall in love with your favourite characters, and the emotional journey you go through together. That is what I want to capture in my art and that's what I want for you.
Every great storyteller needs an artist they can rely on

The Challenge
Mariam kindly asked me to help create a piece of art that captures some key aspects of her life experiences and her path ahead.Having understood how she overcame some significant hurdles and her path to finding a new outlook on life and sense of peace, we developed an exciting series of concepts that embodied her entire experience.The final artwork features a beautifully coloured phoenix brandishing its vibrant wings to represent the symbolism of a new life/chapter. A lotus flower to represent resilience and bravery because of how these flowers grow and bloom beautifully even in muddy waters.
"Amazing artwork, thank you so much! I highly recommend Lux Vestra Art for commissions. It's rare to find an artist who creates with such passion and a wealth of ideas.
It's been a pleasure to work with you. Your art fulfills me with great happiness. I can't wait for our next projject. Thanks a lot."

I was asked by my wonderful client Ninja to help transform her ideas for her own original character Hania into a stunning and fierce looking artpiece!She described Hania to be Guardian of the supernatural world, protector of lycans and werewolves, and Moon Goddess Selene’s second in command.Hania also has the ability to channel the power of moonlight which led to the night time scenery set out in nature and an emphasis in her demonstrating her capabilities, becoming a significant feature to this piece.

The Challenge
I was initially approached by Chelsea with a couple ideas; create artwork of one of her established original characters, or to take on a more exciting task of designing a new character based on her personality, hobbies and interests.Being a creative I took the opportunity to create something new for Chelsea and provide her with a vibrant fantasy piece that captures what she's all about.By learning more about Chelsea we turned her into a TTRPG inspired character embodying her love for being an aerialist, music, writing, storytelling and DnD.Fuelled by the concept of rising from the ashes like a phoenix, she brandishes her glowing golden wings ready to take on the world! A stunning and vibrant piece worthy of cosplaying.
"It's got a perfect blend of all things that I love with so many awesome elements attached!
The wings, music notes, pages of writing, DnD, CMON! It's so incredible (and now I want to low-key cosplay it at some point in my life. Thank you so much Henry for this incredible piece. I love it so much!"

"Lux has done some pretty amazing work. I found him on tiktok and loved the art he had displayed.
I obtained a calander and commissioned a piece and was not disappointed at the final stage. I highly recommend you do the same if you have not yet and are looking for a good artist to draw one of your favorite characters or an original. He takes you through all the steps as he completes each stage, works with you on the posing you'd like to see done and is very interested in making the piece to how you want it to be. I can't wait to see what or who he draws next."
