About

Lauren Steinke

My name is Lauren and I am a former teacher turned illustrator. I spent five years in Japan and can speak both English and Japanese with fluency.

Here's another background that I made in @patmarconettart's CGMA class. This was for the "Natural Growth" prompt, that I interpreted as "nature reclamation." There's a bunch of images of my process and object studies in here as well.

Which one is your favorite?

If you've ever talked to me in real life for more than 30 seconds you probably know that I lived in Japan for a little more than half a decade. Here is some art from a work book I'm making that will help you learn that Japanese alphabet! Scroll for a crop of what the pages will look like.

Hello! Here's a piece I did for @patmarconettart's CGMA class, which waas a phenomenal class for helping me understand perspective. This is a little scene where I can imagine someone coming up and finding this glowing staircase. Spooky!

Fanart of my avowed court mystic character!!

I think of her as if she were the mythological version of Rasputin who is also maybe sleeping with the Emperor of Aedyr.
