Featured Artist: VenomSnake

Happy New Year, y’all! Today we’re ringing in the new decade with another featured artist spotlight. Meet VenomSnake!

Hi, my name’s Will. No relation to Mr. Graham! I only got into Hannibal at this December out of a craving to see more Mads Mikkelsen after witnessing his wonderful performance in Death Stranding. It exceeded my expectations going into it in just the first few episodes; it’s incredibly finely crafted, well-acted and has a balanced, powerful cast, and (perhaps my favorite part) it satisfies me as a horror fan. The contrast of the brutality of murder & Hannibal’s high-class lifestyle makes for some very striking imagery.

Style-wise, I enjoy doing portraits most of all; usually semi-realistic, rough digital paintings. Subject-wise, I have fun drawing smug villains. Mr. Mikkelsen has a very classical face with unique features, so it’s extra fun for me to paint him and get his resemblance down. He’s pretty irresistible in a suit & tie, too. He really checks off all my boxes. 

Thank you for featuring me!

And thank you for allowing us to! Here are a few select pieces from Will’s portfolio:

Featured Artist: Karla Del Cid

Hey hey, Fannibal Family! Thank you so much for the support of our Season Three launch! It’s been a bit of a whirlwind these past two weeks, with hundreds of new readers finding the series.  We owe it all to you for helping to spread the word. Keep up up!

Speaking of spreading the good word, we here at Mind Palace LOVE sharing our fellow fannibal’s artwork, and this week we’re proud to present the work of Karla Del Cid! Take it away, Karla!

Hi, I’m Karla Delakidd and I’m a Toronto artist that draws inspiration from mythology and horror. I came across Hannibal very late, and way after it’s cancellation. As soon as I began watching, I immediately devoured Fuller’s vision- and oh man, what a vision! How could murders be beautiful? How could you come to sympathize for a cannibal villain? The plot is so tightly constructed and the characters charming, as soon as I finished the final season, I dove into these tarot designs for the series.

Because of the immediate and loving support of Fannibal community, I was able to create two more designs, the Wendigo and Ravenstag set.

The Hannibal fandom is easily one of the most supportive and inviting fandoms I’ve ever come across. I’m super grateful for their presence, voices and my god- the bloody fantastic artwork produced by all the fans of the show. I’m definitely going to keep creating artwork inspired by the dark, beautiful, rich and deep world of Hannibal. Many thanks to Bryan Fuller for being bold enough to make such a horrifying, beautiful, messed up world.

Thanks to Karla for allowing us to post her amazing work! If you’d like to see more of Karla’s work, follow her at @DelaKidd on Twitter and on Instagram. You can also purchase her pins, plaques and ceramic work on Etsy.

Featured Artist: Vati

Yes, the comic is on a break til December 3rd, but that doesn’t mean we’re dead! Today for your viewing pleasure, we’re featuring the art of Vati!

Howdy! I’m Vati and I’m a California artist who dabbles in fanart sometimes 😛

I look up to artists like Bouguereau, Bernini, and Jacques-Louis David but my main inspiration comes from Hannibal. I’m all about the gore, the romance, and the tragedy, baby!

I got into Hannibal when it first aired (back when I was still in high school oof) and have been hopelessly in love ever since. I actually started painting because I loved the aesthetic and imagery of the show so much. All I wanted was to make something as spicy, beautiful, and emotional. I’m still growing as an artist and trying to discover my style and I’m really fortunate to have people in the fandom who like my art and encourage me to keep going!

I, for one, and blown away by Vati’s work. If you’re inclined, follow their work on Tumblr , Twitter , and purchase their work on Etsy!

Featured Artist: UNI

It’s a special Sunday Edition of Featured Artist! This week we bring you the work of Uni. Take it away, Uni!

Hi! I’m Uni, from Japan. I mainly draw Mads and Hugh, as well as the characters from the shows that they appear in.
When I first came to Hannibal fandom, I was really surprised at how creative and kind fannibals are. It motivated me to post art and communicate with people online. It’s very encouraging that they often leave friendly comments on my artwork, which rarely happens in Japanese fandom. I probably can’t draw as well as other fannibals, but I hope everyone enjoys my drawings!
And lastly, I’d like to say thank you to Dave for giving me this fantastic opportunity to introduce myself.
The pleasure is all mine, Uni. Uni’s work caught my eye on Twitter, and I immediately reached out to feature their artwork on the site. Speaking of… here are some choice selections!

As you can see, Uni is not only talented, but incredibly humble. I for one can’t wait to see more, and I hope you are just as excited as I am. For more of their work, visit Uni’s Twitter and Tumblr.

See you THIS Wednesday for the Season Two finale of Mind Palace!

Featured Artist: Nephila

We’re back with another Featured Artist Spotlight! Hell yeah! This week, gaze upon the work of Nephila.

I’m Nephila and I’m a behavioral ecologist that spends my free time drawing Hannibal. Bryan Fuller has attracted a wealth of artists with the imagery of the series- one chance look at a few screencaps on Pinterest and I was hooked. 

I strive to make my pieces as emotive as possible; if the subject’s emotion and tone transcends the “canvas” into the space of the viewer, then I’ve done my job. My fan art is a continuous log of myself trying to convey my feelings about the series, communicating to everyone through light and color.

 My main “style” is a form of digital realism, but it extends to bright, neon colors, pointillism, stylized pencil, and traditional. I’m always experimenting, and my techniques are always evolving.

Here are just a few of Nephila’s inspiring pieces:
