Song of Elune

"The huntress Nelina and her beloved cat return to Teldrassil, the crown of the world. After so many battles, she came back to the place where she was born and for a brief moment, the wind carries the song of Elune to her, blowing away all the pain and sorrow of a world in conflict."

This is a speedy i done for Imagine FX June 2008 and it was great to paint my WoW main. Tho there's much i would change, for the short time I had to do it - it's been fast and fun.
It's thinkable, if I should find the time, I'd might get back to this and get it done a bit more defined. Here goes a promissed little update, hope you enjoy

Spellsword

Spellsword

None had walked the Emerald Valley for years for the cold grip of the undead had taken merciless control over the once holy place of the elves. An elvish rouge enters the scene, she draws her enchanted blades and blessed flames enlight the dark passage, for danger fills the air. The Spellsword walks in to bring redemption to those, who had been cursed for too long.

Done for for Ilex-Press UK's Fantasy Art NOW! as a pixelbrush.net exclusive WIP, where i posted my steps.

Darkness

Artist's Comments

In the darkness dwells old evil and the deeper they progressed into this realm, the stronger she felt the presence of it. When they arrived in the Hall of the Dragonlords they found what remained of what once was a glorious and lightflooded place - in the ruins, the spirit of Grukamahr had corrupted the soul of Shri'mehra the last of the jade dragons of Amenar who had turned insane in the lonelyness. Instantly the marvelous beast charged around the corner but the Deathdealer simply didn't care, he charged forth fearless while she called the Grace of the Godess, shielding him from the icey flame, the two forces just before the first impact and a long epic battle was about to begin.

Done this as a speed for Frank Frazzetas 80st birthday when Imagine FX asked me to make a sketch for him, I immediately agreed to contribute. To do this for one of my childhood heroes was an unexpected gift and I wish i knew that earlier and had less to do in the studio. But then, it was fun to do it and the fact i could give back something to someone who gave me so much was just great. This is a Tribute to one of the greatest Fantasy artists alive, hope you like the speedy too enjoy

Leaving the stronghold of Melemac

Leaving the stronghold of Melemac

Leaving the Stronghold of Melemac...
When the 3 left the Stronghold of Melemac, the two dwarfs were discussing how much met it may take to shape a dwarfs body to it's full gracefulness, and of course, the elvish archer was amused. The sun was just rising and a swarm of red cloudriders stroke down into the forrest as if they would give the sky's blessings as well for this journey. Yes, it was a good day.

this is dedicated to my xneighbours dwarfpriest, and his legendary battlesheep "Ghal Ac Tikah" (lol 3/4 health down... did you fall of your sheep?)... k, nuf sheepjokes . hehe, a rather sheeped piece in general made for imaginefx#20's topic inspiration i supported Henning with... Pixelbrush crewrun, let's sort this out.
Compositionwise, of course, the elf just served as contrast to support the gracefulness and elegance of a dwarvish apearance and the sheep simply was fun to paint. As for the stronghold, i was walking through my garden and a piece of wood let me start the piece, so far, it simply was a good day and i caught it for the feature. sooooo... a piece done in little time to make you smile and i hope you enjoy it too
