Having conquered the dungeon the adventurers seeks a spot of R&R in the local town, but all the citizens can see is a sudden influx of wealth and an opportunity to make some of their own.
I relished the chance to do a busy street scene, and opted to for a top down view to give a panoramic sweep, and slight detachment to the viewer. The two far background areas, top left and right, provide focal points with the eye being led between these two by following the course of the adventurers. Who in turn provide focus through the attentions of the crowd.

There's so much going on this picture! It's so hard to comment on one thing without having to comment on the rest of the picture!
Overall, it's really good!

I do love the wizard, like he's about to toad the next person that tries to unload a vase or cupcake on him.
It's pretty cool to see your work in the 4e books, and the Eberron artist plus a few others. A bunch of top notch stuff!
Now, is it just me, or is your DnD stuff more clearly defined and vibrant, whereas your Warhammer stuff tends to be less defined and the colors more muted...?

There probably is a slight difference with the Warhammer stuff, the latter is a lot grittier.
Thanks.

I LOVE it!
I'd buy the manuals only to have your pictures under my eyes every day!
This is beautiful and I particularly like it. It is alive. It makes me think that I might be there as a real witness.
You're a real dreams creator. Thank you very much for your work!

You manage to amaze me every time you submit a piece.... I mean, this is just crazy detail. How long does an artwork such as this take you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it is a bit crazy
IT took 2-3 days to sketch and a long week to paint - I had a tight deadline.

As usual I am blown away at how many people you can fit into a piece and still have great composition. You really do an amazing job at leading people through the scene. I think this is my favorite of you pieces thus far, I really like the light and the colors....and especially the textures! Seriously, that thatched roof is amazing.
I hope you don't mind my asking, but how long does it take you to finish something like this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks very much. I did study lots of photos of thatch
2-3 days to sketch, and a long week to paint - it was a tight deadline.

"Hey! These guys have money!"
I'm actually kind of amazed that I haven't seen anyone else think of this before. Maybe successful characters should have to make disguise checks before entering a city if they want to have any peace and quiet. ^.^

It's the truth my friend, I'm a sucker for these kinds of scenes and you always manage to evoke mood/detail perfectly with your art.

Another great work here!
No rest for these tried adventurers, it seems they've been set upon by a hellish horde of Tele-marketers, Medieval style!
