Description
Tall TreesAcrylic; approx 10" x 7.5"
Forgotten Realms, Champions of Valor; internal illustration.

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 totally reminds me of when Tanis and Flint get back into Solace in the fourth or fifth book, after everything went downhill for Krynn.

Very beautiful. The lighting and depth are wonderful. Also, the non-traditional edges are really interesting; it feels as if you can actually enter the scene.
