Description
Tall TreesAcrylic; 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.

This is so beautiful! It's elegant and extravagant, without being too much, which a lot of pictures like this are. Gorgeous!

purely spectacular. I love the lighting. this reminds me of a place in our campaign.
How do you get such good pictures of your art? Do you just take photos with a digital camera?
