Recent concept art projects

Some recent concept art projects. The Druid Character is a sketch that I decided to design further and turned into a render and model sheet. The other is a small Grim Dawn fan art project I started that designs props for a new outpost/quest hub called fort daen. There are designs for the blacksmith table, inventors table, stash, and a training grounds area. And below are some sketches I did in November.

Sketch dump September and October '21

Some sketches I did in September and October. Most of which were for the #swordtember challenge on Instragram, as well as a Halloween themed promo illustration I did for fun, for my childrens picturebook Evie vs the Egg-scapade. If you head over to my instagram you can also see a bunch of biro drawings I did for inktober: https://linktr.ee/ChrisReilly

Evie vs The Egg-Scapade now available

My childrens picture book project Evie vs The Egg-Scapade is finally available :) You can purchase the book from Amazon via this link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09BGHX6C5 I self published the book using Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Above is some of the first pages from the book minus the text. The book itself is roughly A5 landscape size when closed, its little smaller than I had originally planned but Amazon only offers the one landscape size currently; I think the proofs turned out well so I decided to go with them in the end. It was easily the hardest and longest project I have ever done, it didnt help that the first dummy book I did for the project was one of the things I lost when my hard drive fried last year lol I think it worked out for the best as it gave me a reason to go back and redo everything, I think the new version is much better. The book features 34 double page spreads with full bleed illustrations in like the preview images above shows. I hope everyone likes the book, I definitely plan on telling more stories with Evie and Sparx.
