Vanish into the Night - 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 and is the final chapter art in the book. Can't really tell you too much about this one. It being the end of the story and all. You will have to wait for the book to learn more about what is happening.

Here is a look at the sketch and tonal study for Vanish into the Night 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. Again, this one was straightforward. As I have nearing the completion of the chapter plates, I really hit my groove and stayed in it. These final few pieces were a joy to work on, and they FLEW by. I addressed the figure first, then the deep background, and then filled in the world around the figure.
