Just received my copy of the Bense Trilogy by Lazy Wolf Studios/ @louanders.bsky.social and really enjoyed the look of it. So I thought, I'd share again the cover and one of the interior pieces I did for it.

A group of adventurers is walking down a street in Bense, a viking style city. People around are staring at them and a spellcaster in the group is entertaining a child with some magical sparks. In the early light of a sunrise two adventurers are standing in front of a quest board with a wanted poster for a troll on it. In the background a mob of villagers is gathering, ready to hunt the troll themselves.
