Sien Lee – Designer

The dark form of a protagonist against a burning sky, creatures too huge for heroes to overcome, light used sparingly to shine extra bright in the darkness.

I'm Sien, a freelance illustrator based in between Bangkok and Singapore. I love making cool images and strive to achieve a painterly and high-contrast look in them.

I work in Procreate and Photoshop and am familiar with formats for both print and digital (including KDP).

Here's the process to expect:

- Brief and Reference: we start by understanding your plot, tone, and audience.

- Concept Thumbnails: I try to capture the composition and mood and present concepts for you to choose from.

- Structure: based on your chosen concept, I start building the main forms, perspective and lighting. With your approval, we lock in all the structural details at this stage.

- Rendering: I continue to work on the details, fine tuning character features, armor or architectural details until we arrive at the completed artwork.

Most covers take about 3 weeks to complete, during which I will send work-in-progress updates every few days.
