Description There is a thin line between the Fields of Order and the Pits of Chaos. Terrible creatures lurk at the edge of Chaos just waiting for a breach to cross over.
Our World's existence depends on the vigilance and strength of one entity - the Protector, known throughout history as the Lord of Order even if initially he was a creature of Chaos. He stands there since the beginning of Time to stop the fusion of the two worlds which would lead to the complete annihilation of this realm.

Does the concept have anything to do with The chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny?
Just curious...

yes, maybe, definitely... I don't remember when exactly it was done - around 2001-2002 and I read the books for the first time around that same period
I'm guessing the Chaos-Order realms in the book must have inspired me (though the interpretation and title were given only recently without consciously thinking of the book - I have even forgotten about the initial inspiration for this, but it must be the Amber series)

Brilliant mixed media!! I love the pencil contrast against the vivid paint.
I would ususally say that I'm suprised that you can think of more things to produce..but it's you.
Great concept ^^

I want to remake this one some day and change a few things
maybe even do it in 3d with some animation but that would be quite a challenge
