This was another freelance project I worked on for a book cover.  The objective was to create a design focused on their main character the "Dragon Knight".

I did the sketches for the design with the client present so they picked immediately after I completed the first batch of thumbnail sketches I had in mind. The sketch chosen was the third, the one with only the helmet.

The design itself was requested to either have flames or solely focused on the Knight themselves.

Afterwards, when at the finalizing process, I was requested to create three color variants.  That of which the red Knight was chosen.
