So much for the humans. The entire piece looks grand, you must have spent a fair amount of time on this. Great work as always, keep it up.

Working with Peter was fantastic, and yes, Zathraya, not only am I happy, I am ecstatic. This picture is far beyond anything I had hoped for when I started scanning DA for a potential artist to do a bookcover. Hopefully Peter will continue to get more exposure, because when it comes to high fantasy, this is top-notch.

Beautiful work, as always. I love the depth in this one, with the two main characters, and the tent and fire in the background. It makes it feel almost as if you're a third person looking on.
I adore the lighting, too, and the trees give it an awesome affect. lD And, of course, those pretty weapons and armor. owo
