My first illustration of an isometric castle, and really my first elaborate isometric illustration. I really wanted to play with doing an all monotone light gray illustration, and also the contrast of that look with one or several dark, saturated elements. The flying dragon is loosely based on Calamity Ganon from Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The castle is my own creation.
Process
This was drawn entirely using an isometric grid, without any of the 3D Effects in Illustrator to create the shapes. I learned a lot about the process, but ultimately wished that I had more flexibility to create organic round shapes, which would come with learning to use the 3D Effects.
