Big Bad Booklet 043:
Yku the Unmaker

In 2023, I collaborated with Hit Point Press to bring their demonic teddy bear, Yku, to life. Working to build the assets that would be placed in the playbook for Yku, their had to be a perfect blend of whimsical and horror to the design work. My illustrations were used to identify certain key elements to the character, as well as highlight how the character might be used.

Its not often that you get asked to draw like a five year old in your work.
