The Dungeons & Dragons supplement Rules Compendium has just been released, and this was one of my pieces from the book. Details of which can be found here: [link]
Taunting Memory was great fun as for once it depicts a group of characters socialising after the fight. Usually I find myself showing a combat in progress, but this time we get to see how the Dark Elf behaved when faced with a Beholder - although I also like the fact you could interpret this as a prophecy of events yet to happen - either way he doesn't look too happy about the telling.
The viewers first attention is drawn to the Dark Elf by the strong contrast of his skin and hair. Something further reinforced by his clear profile and the framing element of the light coloured picture on the wall behind him. The row of heads helps keep our attention in the upper part of the picture, whilst various lines, the Elven staff, Dark Elf's sword and scroll case, Dwarf's arm and roof beams, help draw the eye towards the conjured memory. This in turn is more saturated than the surrounding elements, again, hopefully, getting our attention.

I love the details of the woman's dress and the Dark Elf's armor. Simply gorgeous.

That Dwarf looks really really happy... The Dark Elf does not.

Honestly, I didn't even notice the beholder until I read your description. I originally thought the (I'm assuming) Eladrin Druid, as Eladrin are wont to do, started talking trash about the Drow, and the Drow, who seems to be a hexblade warlock from the looks of it, wasn't having any of it.

I love the dark elf and the dwarf. Something bugs me about the third person.

who wouldn't run from a beholder? he has nothing to be ashamed of... other than pissing one off. Either way this is an amazing piece. totally captures the feel of the situation and the attitudes of the characters.

My DnD Character is a Fire Giant with 6 levels of Dread Necromancer and 2 Levels of the Pale Master prestige class, and even he keeps his distance from beholders. Cept the baby one he has as a pet, but thats different.
