    paper Certain Death Publishing - “Crucible” TTRPG Project (Freelance)

    I was commissioned by Chris at Certain Death Publishing to illustrate for a TTRPG (Table top role playing game), which was going to both be printed in book format and PDF format. He directed me in what style he wanted me to use for the project, and gave me a list of written prompts for each illustration to be based off of. He also gave me different specifications for the size of the illustrations and DPI.

    I ended up creating 24 individual illustrations for the inside of the book/PDF, as well as the cover to his specifications.
