Center for Worldbuilding and Storytelling Gallery: Meet Zoe Nast
"I've always been in awe at the complexity of the world, between the inner workings of living creatures and their ecosystems, and the ways in which cultures develop and become distinct. With my personal work, I look for ways to embellish upon real life, be it through more grounded speculative work, or in magical high fantasy settings."

The Queen of Foedus, corrupted by her draconic sponsor. A woman with dark skin and hair wears a regal yet tattered gown and looks up to the sky with a distant expression. her arms and legs are covered in scales, and she has large horns and wings.
