Happy Showcase Day Y’all!
This time @artists-guild-of-exandria presents the Art History Style Swap #AHSS
Paying homage to some of our personal art inspirations through our love of Critical Role 💜
In graphite and pencil is my take on an MC Escher classic, reframed as
‘Hand with Reflecting Beacon’ found in the journal of a particular mage.
_________________
In years to come, a book now lives in the inner archives of the Cobalt Soul. Like many around it, it is a journal, and as such gives a history surrounding some of the most defining years of Exandria.
This particular tome also seems to be a sketchbook.
Most of the drawings are precise in execution yet appear to have little relation to the writings, occasionally annotated with sentiment rather than context.
One such note, scrawled in an antiquated form of Kryn Undercommon accompanies what is theorised to be a self-portrait.
‘I often wonder if I truly thanked you for sharing your skill of art with me, my friend. It is a cruel jest indeed that time has seen to it that I will never know.’
