    Skeleton Knight Beer Label

    Designed as a character-driven beer label, Skeleton Knight combines medieval armor, dramatic lighting, and bold graphic shapes to create a striking fantasy illustration with strong shelf presence.
    The project began with concept sketches exploring silhouette, composition, and costume design before moving into digital line work, color rendering, and final production for print.
    This page documents the creative process from early concept sketch to finished beer label highlighting the evolution of the character and the design decisions made throughout the project.
