THE CRIMSON REALMS

What began as a novella morphed into a complex lore/storybook concept filled with an extensive amount of illustrations. The necessary evolution has grown even further still with an original RPG role playing fantasy game using new game mechanics from Gilgamesh Games. Coming in 2024.

Here are some page layouts from the work (still in progress). Typically, only one or two illustrators is used on a project to promote consistency with the look and feel. However, for this project, we wanted as many illustrators as we could get procure to spin their own ideas of what the characters should look like. It gave the final project a tremendous amount of variety and uniqueness to the realm!

Below are some concept art pieces that ended up inspiring actual characters within the novella…

If all goes according to plan, the kickstarter campaign will give out limited hologram trading cards for certain backers. Anything we could do to make sure the art (and the illustrators themselves) get more attention! Stay tuned…
