Description The Controller

Acrylic, approx 7" x 10"

D&D Complete Mage; internal illustration
Β©Wizards fo the Coast,

Original artwork for sale; UKΒ£250.

This pair stare straight out at the viewer, the powerfully built Lizardman kneeling subserviently infront of the impassive 'controller'.

I enjoyed working on this image. It is a fairly straightforward composition with the characters almost forming a triangular form, which is broken up by the warped tree behind them.

I was pleased with the form of the Lizardman and the costuming on the woman (though I cursed that lacing when I painted it).

Despite your complaints about the lacing, it's a beautiful touch to the outfit; I think your hardwork paid way off... if that makes any sense.
