HELLO! :0)

Hi! I'm Rachel Eaton, also known by my online alias Rayleearts. I'm an illustrator and designer based in Michigan, and I'm thoroughly obsessed with fantasy and creating anything that makes the world feel a little more magical.

I studied graphic design, but I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. I graduated with my bachelor's just in time for a global pandemic (yay!) so I decided to try freelancing. I've been running an online shop since, and I also upload exclusive art on my Patreon.

 

Currently, I'm illustrating and writing my webcomic Realta on Webtoon Originals. It started as a fun side project on Webtoon Canvas, until it was picked up to become my full-time dream job.

I also enjoy pottery, gaming, exploring forests, reading, and petting my baby cat Kiki amongst my collection of swords, woodwind instruments, and graphic novels.
