Just looking through these and I was really curious how this art is created. This one has the look of a really great bit of marker rendering...I was wondering if you do pieces like this by hand and then scan them in, or is it all digital? Do you use a tablet to do any of the input? What software are you using to create the art?
As a fellow artist, I'd appreciate any insight you could give to your process!

See my album of Banner Saga crests here. Many thanks to everyone who displays my work!
I'm guessing that the Banner Saga's art is all-digital, drawn exclusively with a tablet, using Photoshop.
Just a guess... I'm interested to know if it's correct!

Hi all. The in-game art does replicate the golden-age of animation (Disney etc), in something that seems rather easy to accomplish "digitally" nowadays. Nevertheless, there's bound to be some concept-art, you know, to give shape to the characters before their final form, and that's bound to be done in hand (ink, pencil etc). Even Mickey must have started as a photo-realistically rendered mouse, before he ended up in this "abstractly mousey" look! I'm not an artist myself, but I guess that's how you'd work. This raider... *thump* Aaarggg!!! ...sasgsgklkmmm... *gdoup*

Somehow, from the way Aleon's post was cut off, I'm visualizing a raider breaking into his house and chopping at his computer mid-post.
