    A two-page spread illustration for a poem entitled "Red Snow." End of the world type story: Good vs. Evil, alliance of Men, Elves and Dwarves, climatic battle in the frozen wastelands of a nether region between the realms of the living and the undead. Lots of fun to draw.

    I worked on this, along with a bunch of other images, off and on for a month or so.
    The clouds were done with a stronger graphic style because two main bodies of text will cover most of the sky (one on each page). The text will be black, trapped inside white boxes. The end result will be that most of the clouds will not be seen, presenting less of a contrast between the highly rendered figures and the stylized treatment of the clouds.

       Features the character that was created with Shield Maiden as the central heroine.

Impressive!takes patience~
:iconratfactor:
Amazing, as always! I'm glad you explained the dark sky. That makes sense. It will look great with the white text boxes. Love the excellent, careful detail!
:iconfyuvix:
Oh wow, thats just so excellent o.o what gorgeous line quality in this piece, and best of all is all the minute details! your eye could get lost in the picture for hours, taking the time to make out each soldier, and just wonderfully done how they dissipate into vague but still recognizable shapes into the distance. Really great scene; just so active o.o

~The ravings of a single mad Goblin is bad enough, but such a power-hungry, malice-filled creature as Mortis can never hope to be understood~
