Nightwatch: The Tiger

Nightwatch: The Tiger' was part of a submission for the Penguin Random House Cover Design Award 2025. Inspired by Terry Pratchett's 'Nightwatch', Its purpose was to encapsulate a running theme of untamed primal instinct manifesting as the tiger motif throughout the novel. It also provided the chance to combine the style of lino with a more artistic neo-Japanese style in how the tiger is presented.
