I had a ton of fun working on this project for Shannon Dittemore. I found the first book in her duology (WINTER: White and Wicked) in my local bookstore in grad school. Lots of internet friends had been pumping it up, so I decided to give it a go, which led to a bit of fan art, which led to me picking up her first trilogy, which led to more fan art…. Eventually Shannon asked if I’d be willing to create some artwork for the sequel (REBEL: Brave and Brutal).
Below is the artwork we used for the pre-order gifts. Everyone who pre-ordered the book got an envelope with an art print and four character cards. I had a lot of fun working on this, and it might have been the most ambitious commission I’d received so far.
Fun fact for this one: that part of the ship on the far right, the thing with the railing and porthole…? Yeah, that’s from the observatory in the old game, Myst III: Exile. I always thought the Myst game had a distinct architectural style I later associated with art nouveau, and I got a similar feeling when I was reading the ARC for REBEL, so I pulled inspiration from the game.
Below are some of the pieces of fan art I did while I was working my way through WINTER and Shannon’s angel trilogy.
