so-bin, the original illustrator for the Overlord series, has two recent projects in the public eye. Union Creative is producing a figure of Ainz Ooal Gown based on so-bin's official 10th anniversary illustration for Overlord.

The prototype is by SELECT D, with coloring by Shinya Suzuki.

Separately, so-bin contributed character drafts for the Blade & Bastard anime adaptation. The dark fantasy series is set in the Wizardry world and adapts a light novel by Kumo Kagyu. Warner Bros.
