Chainsaw man fan book
This project consists of 12 illustrations created weekly for the Chainsaw Man anime. Each illustration correlates with the new episode that aired that week. I started illustrating on October 11th, 2022 and concluded on January 2nd, 2023.
If you’d like to grab a digital PDF copy of the full booklet you can do so here.
COVERS & physical book
Below are the front and back covers for both versions of the fan book and printed versions. This project was originally only going to have one cover, but I really liked both concepts and decided to pursue them both until completion.
