Young-adult fantasy book cover I illustrated for author Charon Dunn, illustrating a scene from the book where a school is attacked, and the main characters and mech-suited police officer react in horror.
A fantasy author hired me to create this book cover illustration of his characters for his youth fantasy series of the Green Knight.
I love the challenge of designing characters from just a brief outline of a story.The client asked me to create this in a softer pencil and digital painting style which is pretty different from my line-art driven style.Real happy with how this turned out.

I wanted to create a an illustration as a sample to try to get work from young-adult fantasy book publishers, a market that I’d like to do more work in. I chose a scene with an adventurer in an Aztec-like jungle temple so I could draw some funny and creepy totems – and I even got to sneak a skull in there too! I like to try different styles and themes whenever I can – keeps things from getting stale. I’m happy with how this turned out, and would like to do more in this genre.
