Cosmic Spectrum - The Scholar

A lovely, atmospheric painting by the talented Yana Van Houtte (née Bogatch; a.k.a. Cosmic Spectrum), featuring her character Noelle enjoying a quiet moment with her books. Bogatch is the illustrator of the graphic novel, Grimoire Noir, written by Vera Greentea, and is currently working on her own creator owned book, Gloaming Vale.

This painting is featured in her third art book, Prism, which is out now from 3dtotal Publishing. It was one of the backer rewards from the Kickstarter campaign for the book in 2023.

Here's her process video on YouTube documenting the creation of the piece:
