Description As everybody knows, the underground is actually a kingdom, ruled by an old fairy. Little else is known about it - the kingdom is rather secretive, and would rather play tricks on any outsiders that stumble onto its vast network of tunnels than establish diplomatic relations.

A traveller taking these tunnels will occasionally come across patches of glowing mushrooms - always furiously guarded by tiny trolls. Those versed in magic will invariably tell you the fungi contain some sort of power, but that without access to them, it is impossible to know what it is they do, exactly. For now, as best as dwellers above ground can guess, these mushrooms are very important, yet cannot be cultivated, else the fungi would be grown deep within the kingdom and mere mortals would never see them in the upper tunnels and thoroughfares. It seems the fairy queen is stuck hiring trolls and building fences around every patch that's found.


Oh yeah, palette challenge piece. It's been a busy weekend so I think this is the only one I can push out. :]

I really like how you handle your work with lighting. Keep up the great job!

Oh gosh, thank you! I feel like proper lighting is the hardest thing in the world to render!

Think about being eaten alive by penguins? The horror...

I was actually picturing much odder things - like being pelted with birds, or having to eat them… or a penguin firing squad.

When you said that I got an image of a little boy throwing them like paper airplanes and then penguin rocket launchers. xD
