Sample image from “Welcome to Monster Isle”
Hello everyone,
I am still busy working on the book, but thought I’d share some art from it with you. This illustration shows a skipper and crew getting caught in a storm with their sails up. Things start to turn bad real fast.
I’ve also included an early sketch for this page so you can see where it started. Although I liked the idea of the boat being tossed around or twirling in a swirl of water, I just didn’t like the angle. Changing to the more dramatic angle seen in the final piece allowed me to include the rolling storm clouds, lightning and huge waves about to splash down on the deck of the boat. I especially like how the lightning is seen through the sail. It just goes to show you how things can change so dramatically once you move to final art.
