🗡 Draw Steel is out! 🛡
And with it the official adventure - The Delian Tomb! 🔥
It was an immense pleasure and honor to get to work on this cover!
I am grateful for the trust the peeps from MCDM placed in me...

Illustration of a hoard of goblins, led by a massive hairy bugbear wielding a serrated blade, swarm towards the heroes. One hero is a human man with blonde hair and shining armour, blue magic blasts from one hand, while the other hand holds a glowing mace. The other hero s a female elf with a flowing cape and a sword made for swashbuckling. In the background is a villager tied up and watching on helplessly.

Last but not least from the 10th level series for the MCDM RPG - Draw Steel :

The Orc Fury becoming an incarnate for elemental forces! ❄️🔥⚡️

An orc burning with red flame, covered in spikes and weapons, holding a greataxe crackling with blue lightning Khorva's eyes glow white and fire bursts from her veins into an blaze surrounding her torso and head. She wears a horned skull helm, a red studded leather cropped breastplate, a wide belt with pteruges, and spikes all over her armor. She wears countless blades around the back of her skirt. Her two-handed greataxe shoots icy blue lightning in a V-shape toward us. She stands atop spiked crystals

Most of the time I get a text assignment with some visual refs (if needed) and turn that into a sketch and so on.
With this piece my AD sent me their initial sketch and a document with some key details from the adventure :)
