Broz: Adrian's concept sketches
Plague zombies, tree spirits and corrupted satyrs
I hope you’ve been enjoying a look at the three volumes of Broz, the fantasy series I created with artist Adrian Smith.
As I rarely keep old material, I was delighted to find these sketches in a folder with a bunch of my notes. These are the original character and concept sketches from Adrian on which the final illustrations for Broz were based. From back in the day – 2004 – when it was still commonplace to use paper and glue, and send things in the post.
And before I leave you, I just wanted to share a couple more excellent images from the unpublished Book 3:
I’m taking a short break from Substack so I can knuckle down and get some other writing done.
Top of the list is the script for Requiem 13, because the sooner I finish it, the sooner Olivier can start work.
I’m also very keen to get back to my WW1 spy thriller, Sean Stone, which has been languishing on the back burner for several months!
If you missed it, our Sha Vol 1 Kickstarter is now in pre-launch, so sign up to follow our page and make sure you don’t miss it when our campaign launches!
As a process junkie, I really love this sort of material. It gives us a chance to see the evolution of the world building of the series.
