Happy Thursday to everyone out there!<\/p>\n

It has been an especially long time since we had any environmental art, but all that’s about to change riiiiiightttttt… now.<\/p>\n

The Bindings of Fate\u00a0<\/em>was a great way to establish a world that had been swimming around in my mind for seven\u00a0or so years, but it was\u00a0As Darkness Falls\u00a0<\/em>that really let me explore that place. \u00a0With three sets of heroes going off in their own directions, there was a lot of ground to cover, from Kaos and his roundabout search for dragons to Steel Tip, taking the first steps into Blacklehn.<\/p>\n

What really jumps out at the end of that book was everything in western Raleigh, courtesy of Christopher, Holklund, Adelia and the newcomer, Hector. \u00a0Fostervilla was a magical, if tragic, city. \u00a0It was surrounded on all sides by either mountains or desert, and yet… somehow it thrived. \u00a0That is in no small part due to Deep Oasis, which Dena Helmi illustrated for us.<\/p>\n

This version that we show here was the foundation for the piece. \u00a0It’s got a very gothic style temple in the background, which the people of Fostervilla would pray\u00a0to Hudorian, the god of water, for life and fauna to grow and provide sustenance.<\/p>\n

While that was all well and good, Dena went an extra step and gave us a version that would better depict the greek\/roman style architecture that inspired the Tellest pantheon. \u00a0She also added the hellish deathwinds for good measure.<\/p>\n

Enjoy this last environmental piece of the year. \u00a0We’ll be back with more in the middle of January!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
