Night Watch - Terry Pratchett

A personal project, based on the brief and templates provided by Penguin Random House for their cover design competition.

I created a wrap around cover illustration and custom lettering.

For this illustration I explored a few different ideas before landing on the rooftop idea, which started with a rough sketch, after which I modelled the basic shapes in 3D to get the layout. I set up two cameras to render off the scene, one each for the front and back so they both got a good ‘face on’ direction, with the overlap falling across the spine where it's least noticeable. I put the resulting renders into Procreate to use as a base for the illustration, and added all the hand drawn details including the brickwork, hidden figure, chimney smoke etc.
