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 the next chapter art in the book. We find ourselves reunited with the once mighty Woofettes that fly through the skies in an airship. Now, he is bound and chained deep under the lair of the Basilisk in the Warren. How did such a fate befall this once mighty being? Will anyone, CAN anyone, lend aid and rescue this tortured soul? But you must remember one thing: The Woofettes are known for the loud outbursts and volatile nature, but it is when they are still and quiet that you know your life is likely nearly over.

As a bonus, I have some images of the rendering process of this piece so that you can get a better idea of it taking shape. This one came together a bit more normally compared to some of the other recent pieces. I worked top to bottom on the figure and then the background. I needed to set the value structure on the figure before I could balance the environment.
That is all for another exciting Monday on the blog. See you back here on Wednesday! Until then...
