Jurak's Day Splash Art Commission Process
Just a quick run down of the steps in this commission of the Jurak’s Day splash by AR Sullivan. I sent them a very messy sketch of my envisioned composition and my previous sketches of Jurak and Nitocris to start.
Initial Sketch
Good start! Jurak was looking good, with really needing some tweaks to his feet. Nitocris needed some proportion changes and I gave more detail on how the building ought to look.
The most important bit was the aspect ratio…I wanted the splash to be landscape, not portrait.
Updated Sketch
Boom! This was a great iteration! My only comment at this point was on Nitocris’ eye shape/makeup.
Getting There
More thoughts from this one came from Nitocris’ face mainly…there were other changes needed too, but her face shape looked off to me.
Very Close
And now the feedback is directed at Jurak! Basically, his tentacles needed to be on the side rather than the front and his head texture/shape needed to be tweaked.
Final
And then it was all done and perfect! I really love how both characters turned out. It was especially cool to see Jurak, since he’s the first of his race to be professionally done. And his race is one of my ‘weirdest’ too!
Big thanks to AR Sullivan for doing this!

Various pieces of art for/from Volume 2. Played with some new styles and brushes. I overall like the results.
Crochet Jurak
The crochet Jurak I made is BIG. I didn’t intend for him to be this big, but I’m bad with scale. As a result, he was hard to photograph. He was a beast to make too! Like with Chatzu’kuan, I took terrible notes/steps. I think what I consider BLO is actually FLO…so asterisk with that if you are trying to follow my instructions. {% include image-gallery.html gallery=page.gallery class=”half” %} Back legs Mr 4 Inc 4 Inc 2 sc 8 Inc...
