Children's Fantasy Role-playing Tabletop Game (2018)
This artwork is for 'Talespinner' [http://talespinner-rpg.com/], a family-friendly fantasy/role-playing tabletop game. Much like Dungeons and Dragons, the game is heavily dependent on player imagination, in which a corebook is used as a play-along guide. The main goal as the artist was to produce pieces for the corebook to support the visual aesthetics and style to help bring the game to life and inspire player creativity.
A brief was given by project leader, Kevin Hayes, about the look and feel of the characters and setting, including detailed descriptions of the different character races, their appearance, and the general composition of the images.
A crafter watches his creation come to life in the hands of a talented musician.
After the initial drafting/pencilling stage, the final inking process was completed with a standard round brush.
Base colours, highlights and shadows were added, alternating between soft and hard brushes.
Originally, a cool purple colour scheme was used. Warmth and texture were added as a last-minute decision based on personal preference.
