After working with Jokūbas Uogintas on a previous project in the Lovecraft environment, I had to work with him again on this new edition of Arkham Horror. Arkham Horror (Third Edition) is a cooperative board game in which players take on the roles of investigators trying to rid the world of eldritch beings known as Ancient Ones. They travel across map tiles to gather clues, defeat terrifying monsters, and find tools and allies in their attempt to defeat the creatures that dwell just beyond the veil of our reality.

As the art director, I gave Jokūbas references to specific buildings in the Lovecraft IP as well as references to the architecture and design of that era. It was a challenge illustrating and designing in a 2-point perspective, but we worked through it to create an eery nighttime environment for players to get lost in.
