Grease pencil 3D painting, magical nature journal inspired by the Red Rising series

As a nature nerd I love the snippets about the plants and creatures of this world. From Iron Gold / the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown - this is just a fun little bit of worldbuilding, no worries, you haven’t been spoilered :wink:

I use a lot of grease pencil masks, they’re one of my favourite grease pencil tools, and if you’re curious this video explains how I used them in this piece:
