Background info:
Patty’s special interest is herbalism. She therefore is often found at the herbalist camp, studying the new fungus that has sprouted up across the wastelands. As my team recommended me to draw her in her camp, I just had to decide where she would be within the camp.
Thumbnails:
Patty in three locations. I wanted the background to show the scientific element of her work, testing and note taking. In the end, I decided to go with the first design, where she would be found studying the growth of the fungi in a controlled environment. This would also introduce players to the fungi growth that is found in the new world.

Final design:
I enjoyed being able to draw the mushrooms in this scene, as they were my own creation and not something I copied (like the guns design, for example), so I felt like I had a bit more freedom with their appearance. I also really liked drawing the contents of the table and imagining Patty studying the mushrooms, comparing them to ones she is more familiar with.
