Fire-lit Thicket

Magic the Gathering; Shadowmoor. ©Wizards of the Coast

Acrylic, Approx 11" x 7.5".

Original artwork; SOLD.
The offering of a fine delicacy for supper can make guests more welcome.

The Shadowmoor world is a twilight setting with a sombre mood. I tried to convey this with a limited palette, and misty landscape. This also enabled pinpoints of light and colour to focus the eye on the entrance to the Boggart's home.

Great work!

A little question: on which surface are you painting? Paper? Canvas?

Thank you in advance for your answer!

Best,

Nycteal

As I always do with your pieces, I love all the details! I always spend a few minutes drinking them in before coming down to comment ;)

nice layout... the limited palette works great for this one, the subdued colors really add to the mood, and that pinspot of color does draw the eye!
