Pencil, Ink and Paper

Traditional fantasy. No shortcuts.

Welcome to Moonspear Studio. I am Alan Moonspear and my work is analog. I draw characters, worlds, and narratives focused on fantasy using graphite, fineliners, and the patience of traditional techniques.


Authenticity Notice: All art in this portfolio is produced manually on paper. I believe in the process, continuous study, and human imperfection.
