So I thought I would do something a bit different than usual and share some of the in-progress images for the development of Fatedancer. MiblArt was particularly open about each step of the process, and I thought it was rather neat seeing it from concept to final product.
First, I sent them a general idea of what I was looking for (I won’t share the particulars because it contains minor spoilers). They took those ideas and provided a rough B&W sketch:

Next, after a few change suggestions, they provided the first rough color image:

A few more tweaks later, and the more substantial color image was complete:

At that point I was pretty satisfied with the image, so all that was left was adding some text and cover-afying it!

I think the final result came out wonderfully!
