Mort - Terry Pratchett

This personal project for my favourite Terry Pratchett book was a perfect excuse to create one of favourite types of image – a ‘skull in the landscape’ illusion.

Pareidolia is the tendency humans have to see patterns and especially faces where there is none, and this skull illusion fits perfectly with the theme of the book.

After sketching the idea, I set up a simple 3D scene to arrange the objects and really push the perspective. I took the render into Procreate for the illustration and custom title lettering.
