Description
Long Travel Prayer
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
This was my entry for Celtic Samhain Contest
I intended this work originally for the Viking Contest that held sometime back in the past, but I can't make it by the deadline XD because I'm still preparing for my bachelor thesis proposal XD . Still this image is fun to make . There wasn't much story in this image after all, the best I can think of was some action scene that portrays the image of hunter protectiing their sacred temple ruins from intruders. Cliche I know XD. Also after researching a bit, prayer or protecting the elder spirit was related to samhain which I didn't really know what it mean XD, little I know that was a celebratory of death as part of the life cycle circle
.
But not less important, there's stock which helped me to make this story done !

I was unaware of the practice to protect the elder spirit, or the entrance. Makes sense.
Thank you for your entry, and good luck!
And very beautiful artwork!

Yes, I'm trying to make a representation of protecting elder spirit or cultural believe before it become forgetted or broken, it kinda works with that, so I stick with it
Anyway, thanks for accepting my work and for the nice compliment !

I avoided that arrow by a hair!! I like! So the character + arrow is a funny visual idea!

Well, I guess I missed that last arrow XD. And yeah the first I want the scene just a staring contest between two of them, but then I thought, what if I convey some motion into the scene so it no appear to be two statues .
Also thanks always for your kind feedback !
