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:
