commissioned by Sarah K.
A full-body action shot of a hammer-wielding warrior mid-jump, flaming side of the weapon coming down to shatter a larger warhammer pushing in from offscreen. Mouth open in a war cry. Behind him, a fantasy city of cobblestone streets and stacked windows, with a tagged-up wall reading THE IRONHAND PROTECTS! as the visual anchor of the whole composition.
Sarah's D&D 5e brief was specific about the graffiti and loose about everything else, which meant the camera had to be picked carefully to keep the wall readable behind the action. The lineart went through three rounds before the pose felt like it was actually mid-swing instead of frozen, and once the silhouette was locked the color came together quickly. The graffiti is the kind of detail that makes a piece feel like it belongs to a campaign.
