Dungeon Academy: No Humans Allowed!
I illustrated this book, written by Madeleine Roux for Harper Collins. It's set in the Dungeons & Dragons world, featuring all the classic creatures as an adopted human attends the monster school. In addition to the wraparound cover, there were over 80 interior illustrations.
