New Artwork "Fay Coast"

Added 2024-06-24 19:14:06 +0000 UTC

The Fay Folk of Argenta are rarely seen. They are proud people and keep to themselves - many would like to get to know them, but they rarely come in contact with the other Argentians. These Fays living by the coast are known for their love for amber and salt, but the crystal that we see here was a gift from their relatives who live in the mountains.
About the piece itself - it was a lot of fun to draw. The water proved to be a challenge, particularly by the beach where it breaks off into small waves. I tried looking up comic art reference for it and found nothing that I really liked at first. Then suddenly, I remembered that I have a lot of old Asterix comics laying around, and one way or another, they usually end up at some kind of beach. So I took the waves from Asterix as reference and toned them down considerably, which hopefully makes the water feel calmer to you. It is also not often that I draw people other than the wizard, this might be the most characters I've ever drawn in one piece other than commissions. I hope you like them!

Have a nice week!
