#design work

I’ve got a newsletter. It’s free (sometimes there’s a paid option when I have paywall worthy content but there’s always a free version) it’s the best way to stay in touch -- and TODAY -- it’s a great way to see a ton of Hayden Sherman’s gorgeous designs for our ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN book. Check it out:

Zaken the Collector is one of the many unfortunate folk that sign their life away to clear a debt they didn't agree to carry but have to endure nontheless. I was tasked to put a body under the initial design and we worked out some lore-accurate terms and reasons for the design choices o the original adopt and his name, which was originally Shade.

Genuinely I'm so thrilled with how he came out, the black and neon are so tasty~

Thankfully, I've been wanting to play with "hair" for Task Managers and after a few passes with stacked arrays, I thought about Narii's fractal panes and gave that a whirl. They aren't exactly soft and a bit hard to style, but damn they look cool XD

Still working out the kinks with my rendering style but the subtle shading of his face was absolutely perfect.
