Azamar – Melee Skirmish

Here’s a quarter page interior illustration for Wicked North Games of a Tre’uoall ranger versus an Orc warrior fighting on a hill slope and drawing blood… which should be in black and white in the final Azamar RPG core rule book.

Tre’uoall vs Orc, to the death

Additionally, I will also show you step-by-step how I made the dish above.

Azamar Melee WIP01

First the digital pencils are drawn in a new layer, which is set to Multiply mode

First, heat some cooking in the pot. Add some chopped up onions into the oil and allow it to heat. Then add some chopped-up bell peppers cut into the pot.

Digital inks on the layer underneath

Chop up some eggplants and add them into the pot. Stir so the eggplants are covered with oil and make sure they do not burn up.

Deactivate the pencil layer to see it fully inked

When the eggplants have softened, add some chopped-up zucchini into the pot. Chop some garlic, tomatoes and minced thyme and add them to the pot. Stir evenly for 2 minutes.

Fill the background with grey in another layer and run a half-tone / newsprint filter on it

Reduce the heat and cover the pot. Allow it to cook and simmer for 40 minutes until all the ingredients are soft. Finally, add a pinch of basil, stir until a wonderful smell emerges and it’s all ready to be served.

Wait, sorry. What were we talking about?
