[BOOK ILLUSTRATION] A Dragon appears: what do you do? - DMing: knowledge and practice

Illustration for José Fontenele's book "Aparece um Dragão: o que você faz?" (A Dragon appears: what do you do?) by Editora Draco. The book is a fun guide to RPG across different systems and speaks about the most important topics so players and DMs can have a (re)new understanding of it. Beyond the cover I've also done illustrations for chapter opennings and some other passages from the book.

This is the openning illustration for chapter 3 which verses about crafting the perfect game session, trully an alchemical work by DMs all around the world. The distiled four humors to compose emotions, the astrological sense of observation, the electrical charge from challenges, supported by the ancient tomes of rules promising treasures and rewards, all in the hands and minds of these gifted storytellers.
