Alicia Pinapali – Designer

Designer and illustrator specializing in YA/Adult fantasy and romance book covers.

Overview

Hello! I'm Alicia, a designer and illustrator based in sunny Seville (Spain). I live with two little cat goblins and I love reading, watching animated series, playing games and running.


I have four years of experience as a digital artist. I have worked on children and adult animated TV series, I have done concept art for animation and games and I have illustrated and designed adult and YA book covers.


I've always been a huge reader and I love working on book covers (isn't it a great excuse to read even more books?). My style is very cosy and colourful and I love lettering. If you'd like a cute cover I'm your artist! I love making unique pieces that make the audience warm and happy. I'm very interested in YA and adult fantasy and romance but I'm open to any projects that could fit my style!


If you choose to work with me I'd love to know all the information and references you can share about your project, your budget and the deadline for it. Don't be afraid of sending a lot of materials, there's never too much info! I want to get your vision right :)


Looking forward to collaborating on fun projects! Have a lovely day and thank you for checking my profile.

Alicia and I worked together on creating the cover for my book. She was a gem to work with, helping me bring my concept to life with her own ideas and creativity. I plan on working with her on future projects!

Alicia was extremely patient in helping me realize my vision for my book's art. When I needed to have changes done, she was always professional and walked me through the process. For a first-time author-to-be it's an extremely stressful time but of all the steps I've taken this went the smoothest thanks to good communication. I'd love to work with Alicia again!
