I was commissioned by Joe Manganiello to draw the characters from the D&D game that he runs, to be turned into miniatures from WizKid games.
Joe gathered descriptions and even some backstories from the players, and any existing concept art or illustration that had been done before.
Some of the characters required little-to-no design work, as they had already been drawn or concepted, but others I got to design from the ground up, based on their descriptions.
