Character design and book illustration made for a project in production. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic and desert world. Face of Nails is an underground-dwelling witch using her ethereal and monstrous appearance to survive. The goal here was to ally both solemn or ethereal and horrific elements: this concept revisits the white apparel of a young and seemingly innocent maiden with a dark twist (a belt of entrails, a veil of nails, a scarf stained with red, etc).
