Glimmerdeep
Glimmerdeep is a board game project I worked on last year. I created all illustrations for it - cover, game board, card art, faction cards, maps, token / meeple art. I had a lot of creative freedom regarding the style and what the world might look like, while having to work around interesting restraints like big parts of the illustrations being covered up by text and gameplay boxes. I put a lot of emphasis on making the art look vibrant and alive, despite being a fully underground setting - it should still be an inviting and fun world!
For some of the creature art, I had help from creature master artist Yen Shu Liao, making sure I don't forget joints or tails. Thank you!
