The Wizard Wall – Commissioned Painting
October 3rd, 2011 |
“A warning be to one and all, to ne’er go near the Wizard Wall, for glad we are they’re locked away and that is how the Jinn must stay.” – Traditional Folk Tale in Valheigh
In the mountains bordering Valheigh, the legendary Wizard Wall looms. According to the Archive, the evil Jinn were banished from the world and imprisoned behind this wall. The breaking of the wall, the freeing of the Jinn, and the release of wizardry would mean the end of the world… according to popular belief.
This painting is by the talented Matthew Scheuerman of Mordecai Design.
Did you commission that? It is amazing!
I wanted a picture of the Wizard Wall for an upcoming page, and I just couldn’t come up with anything I liked using my art techniques. Then Matt (a matte painter) posted on Twitter that he was open for commissions and it was the perfect solution! I’ll post a bigger version as a wallpaper so you can see more of the detail. It’s just gorgeous.
