Enter the Old Wood

This work consists of designs for a hypothetical dark fantasy survival role-playing game. The designs are deities and citizens of this world who have been inspired by folklore and contain an emphasis on visual storytelling. The style is two-dimensional hand-drawn illustrations with a generally bleak and macabre atmosphere. The intention was to consider the beauty found in the macabre while also investigating how to create something both interesting and unsettling.
