@shoomlah A great professor taught me early on that the fight for the illustration is fought in the thumbnails, and the rest is just rendering. The first pen strokes- the balance of light and dark, the scale of the figure. Before a leaf is on a tree, the story is told (Art by Hans Bacher) 1

NPC ideation! We were trying as a team to find ideas to help us all get a sense of the feel of the world & it's denizens- digging and building, befriending animals, looking for a broad appeal with a little "dragon sauce" etc. Before we had a writer, we even wrote our own briefs-1

A hivesworth of Buglin designs! With the basic red ant melee Buglin design locked, I started iterating on different types of enemy engagement- ranged pheromone casters with living projectiles, lancing orchid mantis pondskimmers, burrowing boulder backed crabthings-4

Working on these cute little friends definitely helped me discover some visual techniques and shorthand that i hadn't beforehand, this year- 2016? Was a time I was really finding my voice with lineless designs in procreate, super grateful for the "yes, and" spirit of the devs4

Here are some of my older pieces inspired by Martin the Warrior, from as far back as 2006/07. Every several years I get the itch and come back to revisit it all 3

A handful of concepts of the ghost of Christmas Yet To Come for Netflix's Scrooge! Riffing on ideas from wilting christmas trees, a turkey's ribcage with a holly-speared heart beating within, & an homage to the WW1 christmas truce in 1914 (a near future for the victorian setting) 3
