Description

This is original cover art for an Origin story of the parents and grandparents of the heroine Faerene from my WIP novel "Into the Skies."

An inconceivable love is immortalized as Legend. Allona is a Guardian of the Woods by birth and circumstance. Kemona da Rajatoran is a nomadic Firstborn Drak and the only son of the Great King. Despite being driven apart by another Guardian, their feelings only continue to grow and defy Law of Nature. When hunters from a nearby village invade Allona's forest, their folly costs them their lives but not before they destroy something Allona holds dear as well. Violent retaliation from the village upon Allona's woods forces Kemon to finally return home and seek his father's aid, but the bargain Kemon strikes and his forbidden love for Allona may put all of Malysta in peril.

I am not totally 100% happy with the result. However, I've never done anything like this before, a full digital painting, so I think it's the best that I can manage with the experience I have right now. I learned a lot doing this piece and I hope to improve my skills in the future.
