Hello everyone! Since I don't have a high-quality video setup in my workshop yet, I wanted to share some high-res photos of my latest creation.

This is a completely handcrafted book inspired by mythic lore and fantasy. I spent days working on the sculpted textures for the cover and getting the metallic details right. The interior features hand-sewn pages and is lined with deep purple velvet (you can see the texture in the second photo).

I really tried to make it look like an artifact found in an ancient library.

I'd love to know what you think, especially about the spine and the cover texture! Feel free to ask any questions about the process.
