Description My personal favorite, as well as the last piece I worked on during my internship at Triumph Studios. This piece is solely my work (no collaborating) though of course I received plenty of constructive criticism from the art director ;>. It depicts the Archdruid class and the summoning of a water elemental.

Edit: A DD feature?! Thank you so much *Rosella-of-Daventry for suggesting it and of course ^laserbeast for the exposure ^^! I really, really appreciate it!

Looked good in-game. Hope you got paid for it. Be good to see more of your art in videogames in the future. If you check out Kickstarter campaigns and indie devs, steam greenlight projects, hell even flash communities and modder forums if that's not beneath you, ah'm sure you'll find someone/s with the capital and vacancy for an artist of your caliber.

Thanks so much! I would say I'm doing pretty well for myself right now, though I'm always on the lookout for new opportunities . Thanks for the suggestions, I'll keep an eye out!

Yeah this is still my favorite piece of yours. Water is a bitch to paint. Dutch angles are the best too.

Amazing picture, the shading, the originality, the simple colors, all go together so well. This looks like something out of an awesome Video Game, you my friend have talent, and imagination, and you are awesome.

In the background, the light coming through the trees of the forest set up the foreground so well. I also think the clamshell like scales of the creature and having waterweeds hanging from the back of the elemental is a great touch.

JDR-Illustrator [2013-06-04 01:52:29 +0000 UTC]

This is really nice! I love the contrast and clarity in the elemental thing. Very much reminds me of the colour palettes and subjects of the D&D artwork from the 8o's and early 9o's. The water rushing up the back of the head is well observed.

I've been told my style has a bit of an "old-fashioned" feel, not sure if that's a good or a bad thing haha! Glad you like it though, thanks !

CaraidArt In reply to Alyssanine [2013-06-06 07:50:41 +0000 UTC]

Oh I went through a fair few revisions . Of this version though most of the critique came down to the placement of the different elements in the picture and the use of color.
