Description Tall Trees

Acrylic; approx 10" x 7.5"

Forgotten Realms, Champions of Valor; internal illustration.
Β©Wizards of the Coast.

Original artwork sold

Two weary travellers wend their way up the broad avenue of trees, happy to have reached the comfort of home, as the sun dips to the horizon in the west.

In the brief for this piece I was asked to convey a vast elven/druidic tree city; Tall Trees.

I wanted to create a relaxed, atmospheric, feel to the place. Setting it at sunset allowed for the strong slanting yellow light, which helped me pick out the receding form of the trees, whilst adding mood to the setting.

Hello!!

I'm making a 3d real time art gallery for school. It's a elf house, to present works from different artists, on the topic of the elves.
I would like to know if you agree that I use your work, and if you accept, could you write some words about this work? ( how you made it, why, where come de idea,... )

Thanks for reply

Bye.

Julie
