Edras Library: Art Bible

The art bible that I put together for Edras Library (Later renamed Minerva's Library). The game was meant to have a very Harry Potter feel and was a concept originally created by Kenny Howell. I was tasked with being one of three artists on the project but also appointed to be the Art Director in charge of overseeing everything art related, therefore, I put together this art bible for the game.
Specifics:
Team of 10
Art Team of 3
Role: Art DIrector

Another and final slide of UI concepting, made post the decision that cards would be used instead of spell books, made prior to ditching the idea of hands and a player model due to time before the alpha.
