I'm Shakoriel, artist, illustrator, and dilettante! I create fantasy art, genderbending art, costume art, and replica art. I use graphite, acrylic paint, and Photoshop.



I love faery things and elven things and dark seductive pretty things. I'm inspired by vampires, pirates and 19th-century tragic consumptive waifs. I am fond of lace, ruffles, ribbons, frock coats, tailcoats, top hats, thigh-high boots, platform shoes, corsets, striped stockings, long hair, leather, eyeliner, gloves, armwarmers, and collars. I am a devotee of femininity in masculinity and masculinity in femininity!



My art is influenced by shounen-ai/yaoi manga and 90s Disney style. I love Pre-Raphaelite and Art Nouveau works. My favourite artists are Thomas Canty, Aubrey Beardsley, Alphonse Mucha, Edward Gorey, JW Waterhouse, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Victoria Frances, Ayami Kojima, Amy Brown, You Higuri, Lee So Young, Hans Holbein, & Kat Von D.
