The Nightmares of Ylia – Art and Tutorial Book (315 pages paperback) is the second major publication in the Asteria universe. If you loved Fate of Asteria, this volume expands the narrative and visual world you already know—this time plunging into the haunting and evocative realm of vampires.
This Nightmares of Ylia art tutorial book explores darker themes and introduces new creature designs, offering a rich variety of concepts and styles that remain visually consistent with the first volume, yet go deeper into gothic and horror fantasy territory. From the eerie to the majestic, each page is filled with high-quality illustrations, original miniature concepts, and professional painting guides.
