The Famous Sage Cerebus - SoundCloud thumbnail

I create audio stories for SoundCloud, I wanted to create thumbnails that intrigued users enough to hopefully get them to listen. My goal was to also visually link this thumbnail with the other story’s thumbnails in the playlist. I limited myself to a single bright colour and it’s counter-colour, I then created a palette of shades, and used flat colours and fading white to colour-in the illustrations .
