GRAPHITE ART
I'm a self taught graphite artist,
I always draw from my imagination.
My artwork is inspired by fantastical folklore and mythology. I especially enjoy creating narratives that evoke empowerment through an ethereal aesthetic with a fierce dark edge.

THE GREEDY CAPTAIN
By Akira Amani
The captain’s greed knew no depth, he devoured nearly every creature of the sea until he swelled beyond his own ship, forcing himself inside and crushing his own crew beneath the weight of his insatiable appetite.
COURAGE AWAKENED
By Akira Amani
Clarity flowed from the Skull of Truth upon her scepter, and with its wisdom she claimed the crown, leading her people from the shadow of treachery into the dawn of their awakening.
NACRE
By Akira Amani
Legends told of three pearls, more precious than all else. The mermaid kept one safe, the octopus claimed another with ruthless strength, and the third drifted in the abyss, awaiting the hand bold enough to unite them and command the seas.
