The Name of the Wind

The Name of the Wind is the first book from the Kingkiller Chronicle written by Patrick Rothfuss. It is a medieval adventure. The first book is the first day where Kote tells the story of a young Kvothe, who lost his parents and travels to The University to study "magic". 

This was one of my graduation projects for Design for Film and Television. The project includes hand drawn technical drawings, a digital model, several concept visuals and a prop design.
