One of my tasks was to illustrate short stories based on important characters from the Amalur IP. These stories were never published and doubtfully will be.
The first and only one I was able to do before the studio closed was Alyn Shir's. These were very fun and I learned a lot from doing them.
If you can't tell, this gnome is about to get a double-trouble special in the neckface for being a poopy head.
Amazing colors and lighting (I'm a bit biased towards both because I usually love warm light sources in dark environments, as well as these colors ). Great composition too. The expressions are very well done, especially the gnome, a bit different from the usual characters you see.
