The Price of Knowledge

Digital painting from a traditional pencil/digital ink drawing. The mountain/creature was conceived as a cross between Hermaeus Mora and Sauron. Hence the glowing eye. Hence the writhing tentacles. Hence the sublime leer. And lastly, if you have ever played Skyrim and encountered old Herma Mora, you'll probably get the title. (Note: The mountain and the wraith were based on a bit of clip art I found while searching for something completely different. Not a direct swipe by any means, but credit should be given where credit is due.) The wizard has that Forsworn (Skyrim, again) vibe going and is different than my usual over-muscled-barbarian-hero type. That being said, I wanted him to look like if it came down to it, he could take that axe and be more than capable of handling himself sans magic. Painted completely in Photoshop - using a ridiculous number of layers - with a Huion Digital Pen Display. Characters and artwork ©2023 Christopher M. Saghy. All rights reserved.
