Illustrations from the Seven Kingdoms 02

"Illustrations from the Seven Kingdoms," is a project based on the Graceling Realm book series by Kristin Cashore. The series spans several books, all taking place in the same high-fantasy world. Each book focuses on a different cast of characters, many who appear and have storylines throughout all the books. This project implements character design and illustrations depicting significant scenes throughout the series. The focus was to work on the skill of translating text to illustration successfully by paying attention to detail and being able to fill in any missing information in a cohesive way." From the Artist. This piece, featured in the 2024 Illustration Capstone exhibition is accompanied with the following text: ""All these families are equally insincere," she said. "Don't you feel it? And maybe there's some information about Katu in this house!" Giddon was clutching his hair. Inside him, the fox could feel his surrender. "All right," he said, turning toward the door. "I'll stand guard." Then Hava spun to Benni's big desk and began pulling on the top drawers. "There are hidden drawers in this desk," she said. "See those panels? I bet there's a latch here somewhere." The fox was impressed, because Hava was right about the secret drawers. The fox knew how to find the hidden latch in Benni's desk, and he knew what Benni kept hidden in those drawers. If Hava found it, big things would happen. Suddenly the fox sensed that Lovisa was about to step into the room. - Winterkeep, page 178"
