Almuric was yet another Howard book I've love to get around to illustrating... Some great (if disturbing) undertones and imagery to play with in there... I really liked my Dog/monkey/hound designs...
...
Over the last year or so of teaching I've been thinking about what informs my own creativity in order to feed this stuff on to my students...
One of the big conclusions was that without my sketchbooks I wouldn't know what to do...
They are the heart of my working life and repositories for all the mad thoughts that I have while not working.
I encourage all my students whether 3D designers, illustrators, games designers, fine artists, film-makers, graphic designers or fashion students to carry one with them...
Even the ones who aren't strong draughtsmen/women
I tend to call them "Day-books", so as not to frighten off the sketch-shy... but as the title suggests I insist that they are used every day...

What "disturbing" undertones? It should be remembered that Almuric was an unfinished draft completed by unknown hands (most likely Otto Binder, though some think Otis Kline was involved). The entire final chapter is almost certainly not written by Howard.
Still, lovely illustrations. Some very cool designs for the creatures.
