Description
Also known as the Sword of the World, the sentient Heartless Mountain is a huge dangerous location few dared to tread. Surrounded by hostile winds and the freezing temperatures, it is a fool's errand or suicide mission for many adventurers. Just traversing the road itself to get to the mountain is half a lifetime's battle, as many treacherous winter beasts and cunning Ice Folk prowl the region, making it both difficult to fend oneself as well as find rest. Rumours spread that the impenetrable mountain and its caverns house the legendary Blue Flame King, one whose spirit if slain, grants the slayer the gift of immortality.ΒThis time round, it appears to be just three ragtag adventurers - a shy mage, an arrogant fallen knight and a cunning rogue they call the Heart Taker....will they be crushed like snowflakes like the others, or do they have some powerful secrets for taking on the suicide quest?
Inspired by the Creator, and adventurers, dungeons and dragons, as well as by many wonderful artist and students alike.
"Rest in icy peace, may the blazing winds be upon your soul."

This piece is amazing! Not only did you leave us with the painting but you gave a little back story as well. Its not too often that people do that. Fantastic work!

It's beautiful! How do you do that? It looks real in some places, but in others not.Β

thanks! its a mixed up method of photobashing/custom shaping for textures and digital painting 30-70% to achieve speed, effect and power~

This is a very cool picture, I really like how detailed it is. Also the generic 3 RPG Characters (elf rouge, female spellcaster, and probably human knight type character)
it's just as any good old Role playing game we all used to enjoy at one or more points in our lives.
