A figure wielding a sword faces a grotesque, multi-headed creature amid a dense forest of twisted branches and gnarled trees rendered in deep browns, charred blacks, and jewel-toned reds. The composition swells with intricate linework and baroque ornamentation, creating a richly textured, storybook-illustration quality that evokes classic Victorian fantasy literature. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
