Description This is my entry to The-MYST-Gallery 's "Myst Makers" competition! This also means that you could win this piece as a prize in a future competition of that group! Learn more here: the-myst-gallery.deviantart.co…

The D'ni Light Box depicts a view of Kerath's Arch as seen from a balcony on the cavern wall (I've taken some creative liberties, in that this exact balcony does not necessarily exist). I formed the detailed shapes of the fence, peninsulas, and the arch itself using the laser cutter at a local public MakerSpace. The finished piece is backlit with orange LED strip lights to simulate the glow of the D'ni lake.

This is so awesome!! It gives off such a warm, calm light, like when you shine a light through thin stone (and Dn'i is surrounded by it!) 
Is this for a window? It sure would be cool to see THIS outside every once in a while!

I've seen some pretty amazing light boxes out there but never even considered using it for a D'ni scene. Excellent idea and wonderful execution!

Beautifully done. The light box idea lends itself perfectly to cavern art. Great idea, and I love the result.

Thank you! The shapes are cut from white card stock and separated by layers of foam core board around the border. The box itself is just a store-bought 5x7 inch shadow box. Oh, and I learned the effect of the reflection in the water below from a YouTube tutorial!
