One of the more intriguing projects I worked on in this period was for a product that never appeared. I did three new pieces for it, and adapted another. Atilla the Hun was, weirdly, part of the same project. To be fair, I don’t know if it would’ve been called that in the end, since I have no idea what this project would’ve ultimately become, or been themed as. But it was a shame specifically because I liked the artwork I did for it.

I believe that these pieces were going to be cropped to horizontal format, so that this and The Hun were vertical was simply me once again making extra work for myself for no reason. I was working a little larger in this era as well, which I enjoyed. The thumbnails here indicate the standard horizontal crop.
