Michelle Hoefener offers up a wide range of anime and cartoon delights on her site, from bright art-nouveau fairies to dark, painterly mages.

Her best works are a marriage of both modern and historic styles, and imbue her characters with strength and confidence, while still capturing the mystery so necessary for excellence in fantasy art. If you like what you see, she’s available for commissions too!

Look for Michelle’s latest projects on her sketch blog.
