Artist Spotlight on raitala!

[themostepotente]

raitala is a name synonymous with H/D shippage. Her impressive resumé includes accompanying art for mistful, lusiology, scrtkpr, pushdragon, mirabellafic, sansa1970 and frayach. But if your art fancies happen to exclude H/D, she's worldly in the ways of Snarry and the Malfoys, too!

raitala's a newer artist for me, but an instant favourite. She has a beautiful style and is passionate about her author illustrations, all of which she's executed with flair and finesse.

Below are some of my favourites, but you can find more of her work here and on Deviant Art. And always, if you enjoy what you see, abandon all shyness and tell raitala!

I love her work so much and I couldn't agree more that her hp_tarot submissions were brilliant.

Great choice of artist to feature.

Thank you for putting these posts together. I'm really enjoying them.

That's nice to hear, Romaine! I enjoy doing Artist Spotlights, so there will be plenty more to come :-)

My absolute favourite of hers? Harry and Draco from Mirabella's Inconvenient Condition (http://raitala.livejournal.com/33504.html). Her Vampire!Harry is the wildest, loveliest vision I can imagine. Excellent rec and well deserved too.

That is quite lovely, too. I'm 99% sure I've recced that piece before.
