The new sketchbook by Luca Sotgiu is on its way, with the campaign launching today and the book scheduled for online release in March 2026. This volume is a deep dive into Luca’s dark, atmospheric fantasy worlds, offering a curated selection of artworks that trace his evolution as an illustrator and concept artist.

The sketchbook brings together some of his most distinctive work across several core themes:
- Characters – Heroes, anti-heroes, assassins, post-apocalyptic wanderers, vampires and arcane figures. These pages reveal Luca’s approach to character design, from initial gesture and silhouette to refined expressions and costume details.
- Creatures – Strange beasts, eldritch entities and monstrous presences that feel born for role-playing games, board games and narrative universes. Each creature blends anatomical study with storytelling, hinting at the worlds they inhabit.
- Environments – Glimpses of ruined cities, otherworldly landscapes and moody settings that frame Luca’s characters and creatures, expanding their stories beyond a single image.
- Full Illustrations – Complete scenes where characters, creatures and environments come together in dynamic compositions, capturing key moments of tension, mystery or confrontation.
- Props and Weapons – Designs of objects, artifacts and weaponry that enrich his worlds with visual lore and functional detail.
- Traditional Paintings & Sketches – Pencil studies, ink work and traditional experiments that show the raw, unfiltered side of Luca’s process, from quick thumbnails to more finished pieces.
This sketchbook is designed for collectors, art directors, game designers and anyone who loves fantasy illustration with a strong narrative edge. More information, previews and campaign updates will be available directly online as the launch progresses.
