Elle of Yorn and the Dragon Kiln: Wrap-around Back Cover Illustration! (Patreon)

This is back cover for Jonathan K. Williams book, Elle of Yorn and the Dragon Kiln! Like the front cover, this illustration offered a lot of great lighting opportunities as well as some fun atmospheric effects and of course, a fire-breathing mythical beast. It was a lot of fun to work on. I also had a chance to do some gilding on the kiln for this one, something I haven't had a chance to do in a while. I forgot how much I love GOLD! :D  I went all out using the "Smooth Crocodile" brushes from the Were-Lizard Monster Set to get all the fine detailing in.
