Space Knight 7

Merch Design - Graphic Design

Overview

After a two-year hiatus, Michael-Scott Earle’s return to Space Knight was a major event for fans. To celebrate, our team created a special edition shirt design inspired by the book’s new lead character.

Approach

As a longtime sci-fi fan, this project was my chance to explore a modern brutalist style with a D&D-meets-futurism twist. I built the design around the book’s new star—a space necromancer—incorporating elements from the cover art and including skulls, gritty digital textures, and futuristic motifs.

To amplify the aesthetic, I contrasted the sci-fi imagery with bold blackletter typography and refined the artwork into a four-color screen-printed design with a retro, distressed finish. After testing multiple colorways, we locked in two striking combinations that complemented the book’s cover.
