Ahjuutal Rising

Acrylic, approx 7" x 10"

D&D Forgotten Realms, Ancient Empires ; internal illustration
©Wizards of the Coast,

Original artwork sold.

A once might city is lost beneath the waves, but one day it is said it will rise again...

Meanwhile adventurers are drawn to it's ruins, and the treasures that are supposedly lost beneath the waves.

In this painting I tried to distinguish between the watery realm, and that above, by strong palette, and value differences. I also tried to add a bit of distortion into the straight lines of the submerged buildings to give that impression of wavy lines that you get when looking through water.

This is a more pastoral piece for me, but I still maanged to sneak a few things in amongst the ruins.
