Lyros's Guide to Investing - D&D Module Cover and Inside Illustrations

Cover art and insert illustrations for a D&D module by Thomas Keene (https://twitter.com/koboldskeep). The book contains rules for dungeon masters so that adventurers can set up their own establishment--tavern, shop, kingdom, etc--and then implement that into game-play. The illustrations mostly have to do with money, shipping, agreements, products, etc. Getting the color palette right was the biggest challenge for the cover but I think I ended up with readable contrast and lighting. I enjoyed drawing the orc-ish accountant character. The black and white illustrations were quick and fun to do, too.
