This project is an original adaptation of my Dungeons & Dragons character - Clanking Bottle - and his story. My goal was to bring a beloved character of mine to life and share his story through poetry and illustrations to create a physical book. In doing so, I wanted to reveal my passion for Dungeons & Dragons and even inspire others to showcase their own characters' stories.
Original concept art and experimental illustrative pieces using a variety of techniques and mediums both digital and traditional.
Sketches of ideas and designs for a range of merchandise to promote my project. The finalised design was the Clanking Bottle Wooden Pin (pictured below) which I worked with a manufacturer to create successfully.
Initial storyboard idea for a storybook of illustrated pages detailing the backstory of Clanking Bottle.
Compositional thumbnails for the illustrations that accompany each poem verse.
Finalised storyboard (pictured left) for the composition of each illustrated page following Clanking Bottle’s timeline.
Alternate thumbnail ideas for illustrations (pictured right) that detail future events in the character’s life.
Finalised illustrated double page spreads including poem verses. These illustrate the character’s close relationship with his mother as well as the way he sees the world as bright, colourful and magical.
