Test assignment I had to complete as part of the recruitment process for a job at a board game & video game company.

Brief:
Full-colour illustration

Setting: the Middle Ages/low dark fantasy.

Description: People armed with improvised weapons and farming tools point angrily at a hooded traveller in armour. One of his hands should bear the marks of corruption/deformation/distortion. They accuse him of blasphemy against their gods. His face should be visible. A dark, painterly atmosphere (Dark Souls, Warhammer Fantasy, loosely inspired by Z. Beksiński). Any time of day.

Environment: the ruins of a village or a campsite.

Bonus points for:
● the traveller’s facial expression
● the design of the traveller’s armour
● the design of the environment
