Description
(C) 2008 Jon HodgsonA personal piece forged from tiny pieces of free time I managed to sweep up off the floor and hammer together into an actual piece of work.
Two elf friends are making off with the goblin treasure. The goblins are not happy. A fighting retreat.

the walls of this shasm are wonderfully done, while the fighters are excellent as they hold off the encroaching horde

This is a very cool piece of time, it seems so interesting and gripping! There is so much tale before and after this moment, so nice capture.

Nice and playful composition!

Oh, that looks really exciting. Though I am a bit troubled by the thought of elves in full metal armor. And elves stealing any treasures. But anyway, the scene looks very good.

very nice the stone and light remind me of the grand canyon in the states. the lighting is the real winner in this peice with the heavy and sickly tone suggesting the doom and depth of the shaft with the light offering salvation. ( imsure im looking way to much into this)
great stuff,

This is my favorite piece of yours. I pretty much adore everything about it, lol. The vertical composition, the friggin' awesome rocks, the precarious poses of the two elves, the decreasing amount of detail in the goblins as they move further from the focal point (something I need to learn!)...
Do you have plans to offer this as a print?

Hey thanks! And thanks for finding me here! Much appreciated!
Print:I could do this very day if you were interested. Something I've found with print requests is "people" frequently make them and then don't buy, but if you really want one I'll sort it out right now.

Thats great, good sense of height with this, the dynamics of the climbing and composition work well here, good flow to the action with the column like rocks bordering this . . . .
Like how the hues change towards the bottom, feeling more corrupt, full of scum and villany as the horde approaches form the canyons below . . . .

Very creative idea! It's so dynamic--the poses are great, and I love the use of lighting.

Beautiful! I love the color gradation and the texture of the rocks and the sense of movement.

The use of color in this is fantastic. Really sets the atmosphere.

Love the texturing that you have on the rocks.

Wonderful! I love the unique and dynamic composition. Very clear and graphic, and at the same time full of atmosphere and a palpable reality.
Strange how the personal pieces of many artists are often so much more interesting than the commercial commissions (covers and such). Makes me wonder about the ability of the art directors ...

This is an excellent piece! Original setting for what looks like an entertaining battle.
The archer at the top looks in a little bit of a precarious situation though...

Very nice love the way the archer is positioned

Haha, got to love the way the archer has positioned himself!

Cool concept. And great texture for the rocks!

Amazing!! I love how it transitions from the elves to the goblins. You can really get the motion out of it.
