create art for a gaming screen

Luisa Preißler and Klaus Scherwinski work together to create the artwork for a four-panel dungeon master’s screen

In this workshop we highlight the artistic factors we have to consider when tackling one of the most complex tasks any fantasy illustrator could face: painting a four- panel dungeon master’s screen illustration!

Because the two of us often team up for complex illustrations we know the benefits of working in tandem with one artist excelling at composition and figure work (Klaus) and the other artist (Luisa) being an expert at staging colour and light. When one of us paints, the other defaults to the art director role, lending a fresh eye to each iteration. Swapping the digital artwork back and forth and sometimes working simultaneously on different parts of the painting might sound complex, but we think teaming up is well worth the effort.
