Faithful Snoop Preserved Pieces - The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia

I am thrilled to share another new piece from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia! This illustration is for Book Two: The Completed Circle. This is a supporting piece of spot art for the Faithful Snoop that I recently shared. Most, but not all, of Shaper's creations, decompose extrememly quickly when the tool is damaged beyond functionality. Likewise, any piece removed from the whole will also degrade quickly, no matter what attempts are made to keep it whole. Ethra continues to work to persevere components of Shaper's work for study, but it is daunting work. This Faithful Snoop toe was kept intact for about nine days before it eventually liquified. In that time, many secrets were dicovered. I present to you the Faithful Snoop Preserved Pieces.

As I have mentioned before, I have some of my most fun working on these books when I am doing anything that involves Shaper and their creations. I have always loved the villains, and while Shaper may or may not be the villian of my stories, they are, without a doubt, my most favorite of subjects within my world. Also, anytime Reginold and Shaper cross paths, it is even better. I just have fun making these. 

 

This is one of the many pieces I completed so far this year. It has been a blur of pencil and paint. Nice to finally be sharing them. Here is a look at the sketch of the Faithful Snoop Preserved Pieces to show where it began.

As a bonus, I have some images of the rendering process of this piece so that you can get a better idea of it taking shape. This piece went quickly, so there are only three images to share.
