“Rowan and the Star Sword” (Ongoing)
Armor studies completed at the Met’s medieval art exhibition!
Sword and Shield Exploration
After conducting this design exploration, I felt that the swords felt too much like daggers, and so when working on the final design, I played with the proportions so that it felt sleeker in proportion to the character.
Rowan Armor Design Sheet
A lot of the armor I saw at the Met incorporated delicate paisley motifs; I wanted to include that imagery into Rowan’s shoulder guard. I really liked the juxtaposition of something so delicate on something so strong.
Malgarin’s Transformation
Rowan Journeys to the Ashen Keep (Work in Progress)
I’ve been working on this painting for a few days. Right now the colors are blocked in, but I wanted to capture an eerie and tense feeling as Rowan sets out to face off against Malgarin, and retake Ashen Keep.
