Artist's Comments

Sooo~ many people ask me about my trips to the Neflim island, and how I found it. And I keep telling them that it was by accident, I was sailing out quite a distance from shore trying to find a way around the currents that hold the Undrais and their masters. I can across a landmass that wasn't marked on my sea charts, I marked it on my chart, and decided to embark upon it.
There I met the many Neflim and exchanged goods with them.
When I left I followed my chart, but got totally lost, for that island cannot be marked on any map, it drifts.
-----------
Another painting assignment, this one was actually done before the last, but I got excited and posted that one quickly.
I am not overly too happy with the leaves of the tree, but then again the 3 pixel dot on the beach beside the small tree is a person,(prolly one pixel for you) so I am not entirely sure how I am supposed to show leaves at that scale.

Yes this was made with no lineart whatsoever

Wow. I love the way the light filters through the water at the bottom! It has a really loose tropical feel to it. You should be very proud of this!

Wonderfully unique. A whole city could be carved in that rock base! O.O
