I'm excited to have recently wrapped up my first major illustration job on best selling fantasy author Peter V. Brett's novella Brayan's Gold. Preorder it here if you're a Brett fan; it's a limited pressing. I did the cover and 9 interior b&w illustrations. Here's the cover:
Peat has repeatedly tapped me for private commission work for his Demon Cycle world. Although some of it has ended up in the books before (my first portrait of the titular Warded Man was eventually used as a cover for his last novella, The Great Bazaar, and the wards themselves are all over the place) this was the first time I was specifically illustrating for publication. It was a great experience on all fronts. I'm hoping it will help me get my foot in the door for more serious illustration work. If there is one thing I have learned this year, it is that I do not excel at small jobs.
Really nice work Lauren, congrats :)!
