Big Steps

It's been difficult to keep it all to myself but I just got the final renders of my first piece of original artwork for the Southern Reaches setting. I have long been thinking about it, at least a year, trying to decide where to start, and where better than with the piece that started it all, the Archers Jawed Vambrace.

The artist, Joe N. Brown, immediately made my top 3 options when I looked over his portfolio (plugging it again: https://joenbrownart.com/) and was a huge help along the way, really bringing things to life with a great style I couldn't help but love. Great to work with and if I get a chance I'll be talking to him about bringing the concept of the Mantles to life.

For the sake of it I'm posting all 3 stages of the process.
