Staff pick contest June 2019

June's gallery was packed with amazing concept art and characters, and it was a difficult task for Wojtek Fus to narrow it down to a winner. Congratulations to Alfven Ato for his winning entry Valley of Kings! Wojtek was impressed by the colors, composition, lights, and use of shadow...
Winning entry - Valley of Kings

Here lies the great kings of the land. The final journey of their reign. On this valley, we honor their lives - and mourn their deaths. As the pyres are ignited, we pray for their souls to be among with the gods - as their bodies turns to ember. This piece tells the story of burning the dead, especially the kings who have ruled, and the ashes to be cast out in the valley for this honors the god's commands. For this is their resting place - to be with their own - glorious kings!
