Hardcover edition of Eragon by Christopher Paolini, Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
As for the one of a kind paintings themselves, Mandy Howard begins with clamping the book between two pieces of wood, followed by mapping out Saphira. This particular illustration was inspired by the 3D printed model of Saphira created by Wraithmarked Creative, LLC as part of the Kickstarter partnership with Christopher Paolini to show the most accurate imagining of the fan favorite dragon, the “Queen of the Skies”. The top and bottom edge were painted with metallic silver.
Using watercolor paints and spraying each painting with matte varnish, the completed artwork is protected from dust. Due to the pressure from the clamps, the paint does not seep past the edge of the page.
While the pages can still be turned, this is recommended to be purchased as a decorative addition to your personal library, rather than to be read. This is due to the fact that the oils on our hands can damage the painting over time.
