Been doing experimental traditional work lately, combining my halftone print work with layers of inks, paint, charcoal and more into original pieces. Really enjoying it!
The base piece for this will be in an upcoming Tolkien zine, this piece is in my studio shop - carlydraws.sumupstore.com

Here's another artefact inspired piece, a cover for PREQUEL, a ttrpg of heroic sacrifice & legacy by @glyphtide.games (available now!)
Fun challenge to figure out how to give a subtle woven tapestry effect for this cover inspired by massive ornate medieval tapestries and banners.

some making of bits and close ups. oil pastel base drawing on the left- i wanted a greasy, oily feeling for all those old coins; and a hand-drawn map of the labyrinth. detail shot on the right where those parts are combined with digital colour and more painting for the final art.
