LUNLANA THORPE
I am a Melbourne-based artist with an interest in creating illustrations based around characters and narratives. I have been studying at Melbourne Polytechnic for three years and I am now thinking about where to head next. I primarily create digital illustrations, though I am comfortable working traditionally as well. 
A lot of my inspiration comes from my own internal monologues, stories, mental struggles, feelings, and experiences. I use storytelling to explore and reflect on things that happen in my life, often using a surreal sci-fi-fantasy style and bright colours to illustrate a narrative and express myself through imagery.

Bea Poses - Digital

Bea (short for Beacon) was created for a character design project, fitting the role of “Threshold Guardian”. Bea is a guardian for the void between worlds, and though very loyal to the task, they are insecure and lonely, and could be persuaded to back down.

The Fate of Jeffery Shaw (Digital) My characters tend to be the subjects of most of my artworks, and I use aspects of their stories to talk about a real feeling or concept in an illustrated format.
