D20

This is for one of Derek's recent blogposts about the benefits of role-playing games for remote teams. He had a really clear visionn of the image in his head down to the sword from Conan the Barbarian. The Thundercats-esque energy flourish was all my idea. :)

I went at this image like some of the others in the series—I assembled a 3d model in SketchUp. This part went really quick as there were already models for the die and the specific sword in Sketchup's library. I fiddled with the lighting and the camera angle and then I had some really strong reference to draw from. Next was going at the linework in photoshop with my drawing tablet. This was the meat of the effort. After that it was vector tracing in Illustrator and colors and final tweaking of the svg in Figma.
