Fantasy potion illustration inspired by my game world, Barker’s of Ruin.
This piece is designed to feel like a readable, collectible in-game item—an “opening burst” potion that kicks off combat with momentum and keeps the energy flowing turn after turn. The deep blue tones and crisp highlights were built to suggest lightning captured inside glass.
