Anike Kirsten is a digital cover artist who lives in the dead centre (or there about) of South Africa with her two spawns, spouse, cat, and five arachnids. She spends her days imagining, reading, painting, and writing SF and other speculations of the probably-not-probable. She doesn’t let her aphantasia get in the way of this, using everything at her fingertips, including said fingertips, to compensate for her lacking brain. Fragments of her imagination have, as a result of her creative endeavours, been scattered across the known and as-yet-unknown worlds, like The Drabblecast and The Mythsterhood of the Travelling Tales podcasts.
She takes influence from great artists such as Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, Rodney Matthews, Luis Royo, Salvador Dali, and Frank Frazetta, all of whom she has studied and incorporated what she has learnt into her art.
