Behind The Illustrations
A small glimpse of the original drawings, studies, and concepts that went behind the making of the Otherlands project.
This tale began as simple drawings and doodles in my daily sketchbook. While making up backstories and personas for the characters in my drawings is simply a part of my creative process, I would have never imagined the outcome of this practice to be one all-encompassing story. In that sense, the logistics and world-building aspects that went behind the making of this short illustrated tale proved to be a fun puzzle. Choosing which drawings to develop and which ones to leave behind became key, and eventually led to the initial creation of the storyline for this charming but wicked Kingdom.
