Stone Armor - The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia

I am thrilled to share another new piece from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia! This illustration is for Book Two: The Completed Circle and is one of the supporting pieces for the Gallionic Gallowglass. I present to you some fragments of the supposed Stone Armor. It is said that the Gallionic Gallowglass wore armor hewn from solid rock. How this was done has been lost to time, if it ever was a real practice. That said, there are some artifacts in Ethra's collection that just very well be armor cut from stone. Maybe. I present to you with Stone Armor.

I do not have any extra stories about this that I can share now. You will just have to read the book. Here is a look at the sketch for the Stone Armor to show where it began.

I have no bonus process photos because I forgot to take them, and this one came together quickly.

That is all for another exciting Monday on the blog. See you back here on Wednesday! Until then...
