Young Sharli — Mordew Character Illustration

Limited Edition Collector’s Print

This illustration was originally commissioned as a competition prize to help promote Alex Pheby’s Waterblack, the final part of the Cities of the Weft trilogy. The winner won the original drawing, and now — for the first and only time — it is available as fine a art print in a strictly limited edition.

It is one of nine character illustrations in total, each limited to 50 prints only.
Every print will be released in two batches of 25, each one signed, numbered, and dated to mark its batch. Once sold, no further copies will be produced.

Mordew was the first volume in the genre-defining trilogy, and I had the privilege of depicting its cast of characters and darkly imaginative world. This is a rare chance to own part of Mordew’s visual universe — a collector’s piece that will never be re-issued.
