Description
EDIT: I cropped it because the extreme asymmetry was bugging me >_> the full version can be found here though: imaliea.tumblr.com/tagged/book…Also, I hope you art thieves out there are happy, because I have to put icky watermarks all over my stuff now. You guys suck. Everyone else, keep doing what you're doing <3
Wow, what's this? Art from me again! I KNOW RIGHT?!
Anyway, this is actually kinda old now, it was for a book cover I did for www.riptidepublishing.com a while back that unfortunately was never able to be published (hence why the characters are on the right side of the picture, as it was inteded as a full-wrap cover). I got permission recently though for me to display it on my galleries, and thought: what better way to debut my return to DA?
It may in the future be auctioned off at Riptide and given a story to go with it, but until then --- enjoy!

I really like the idea of the characters stepping out of the frame. It makes the painting look more threedimensional.

Nice. I like the composition a lot. It would have made a nice book cover. I think my favorite parts are the car and the castle! You do a nice job with details and keeping the picture having a dark feeling, while still using light very effectively.
