The Excellent Travelling Volume

James M. has been producing a magazine for M.A.R Barker’s Tekumel called “The Excellent Traveling Volume” and has asked me to provide a few illustrations. One of them presented an interesting problem: how do you draw a creature that is ‘made of light’? The answer turned out to be to draw everything around it and just leave the paper blank.

The dude in the front in the marching band type hat isn’t the subject of the picture; he’s just there to show you how fucking bright the ball of light is. The hat is, admittedly, bizarre… but that’s how they roll on Tekumel.
