Exploration of Fantasy Landscapes
The Exploration of Fantasy Landscapes is a series of multi-media works reflecting my love of the genres of Fantasy and Sci-fi. Each piece is paired with its own story that is unique to its creation.

Free Will
Digital Illustration
This piece is a digital illustration depicting the gift of free will among the Three Primevil Entities causing a division that rewrites the path of the Human Species.

Knight's Beach
Watercolor on Paper
Located on a remote isle somewhere in the South Pacific, lies an ancient memorial tower dedicated to a war lost to history. It's said that within towers depths remain unfathomable treasure. All expibitions of the isle have been futile due to a strange, dark essence that resonates with the sand as if the ancient war never ended.

Himalayan Prophet
Acrylic on Canvas
The Grand Temple of Viræd Ik'ęokš was said to have arrived during the year 369 B.C.E according to the ancient scrolls of Bhaviṣyavāṇī. More widely known as the "Himalayan Prophet" this structure is still much of a mystery to the world except for some rumors of divine purpose. The only recorded contact with the structure's interior was during WW IV when The High Preist Council of Nepal sought political guidance. It was recorded that upon approaching, a triangular opening in the structure materialized in front of the council. All records of what they experienced within the interior have been destroyed due to fear of international panic. Now, the "Himalayan Prophet" remains silent with no resolve as to what it is or what purpose it serves.

"Ahhh... There You are!"
Digital Illustration
"Ahhh... There You Are!" is a digital illustration that shows the Entity referred to as Zyljor. Zyljor regularly plays hide-and-seek with Their best friend, George the spectral cat.

The Wanderer
Digital Illustration
The Wanderer is a digital illustration of the iconic Wandering Mage of the Cloudy Desert. The desert's stark landscape gets its name from the constant sandstorms that make travel on the surface impossible. Luckily, within the desert, a series of maze-like caverns, complete with their ecosystem, make travel more palpable. Do not be fooled though as most expibitions into the Cloudy Desert have resulted in missing persons with the rare exception of an encounter with the Wandering Mage. It is rumored that he is a guiding spirit helping those who have lost their way in the maze of caverns, leading explorers to a majestic underground oasis before showing them the exit on either side of the desert. Additionally, if one were to approach the Wandering Mage or search for him he'd turn and show his glowing emerald eyes before vanishing with the passing sand.

Seasonal Contrast
Acrylic on Canvas
Seasonal Contrast is an acrylic on canvas painting capturing what is known as a "Plane Anomaly". These anomalies take many shapes and forms, appearing in random locations and seeming to lead to alternate realities.

The Ink King Lost His Keys (New Headless Hire)
Acrylic, Marker, & Ink on Canvas
This piece is a painting showing a glimpse into the time the Ink King lost his keys to his castle. During his journey through the Creative Lands, he stumbles upon a welcome party in the Headless Glades. The new transfer from Nexvar Glen had just arrived causing quite a commotion among the mischievously energetic Headless Glade locals.

Merchants Camp
Acrylic & Ink on Canvas
Inspired by The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, this painting shows a group of merchants huddled around a campfire among the ruins of an old aqueduct somewhere in the deserts of Egypt.

Foggy Gate
Acrylic & Ink on Canvas
Foggy Gate is another instance of a Plane anomaly. This one appeared in a swampy region and constantly emitted colorful fog.

Gateway
Watercolor & Ink on Canvas
Gateway is another instance of a Plane anomaly. However, this one seemed to have been the pinnacle of an ancient advanced civilization, possibly viewed as a religious deity, and could be accounted for their disappearance.

Grand Archmage's Lost Spirit Castle
Acrylic & Ink on Canvas
Grand Archmage's Lost Spirit Castle is located in the far reaches of the Spirt Realm perched upon giant amethyst stalagmites that continuously reshape themselves due to the mineral-heavy clouds that engulf the realm. Since the Grand Achmage's disappearance, his castle has begun to deteriorate leaving a soul of its structure behind.

Crystalline Bloom
Acrylic & Ink on Canvas
Crystalline Bloom shows a recurring growth of blue, illuminated crystals that have started appearing around dense foliage with pools of water in the Firefly Forest, west of the Ink Castle. Sages aren't sure why they're here but have noted that the foliage around each bloom seems to radiate with an ethereal glow.

Red Sky in Mourning
Acrylic & Ink on Birch
Red Sky in Mourning depicts the Zamzain attack on the Royal Whaliathan Fleet during the Inspection of the Tides. Both Zayn Zamza, (the tyrant of Crimson Elephant Island), and Sir Elliot Whaliath, (the king of Azule Mule Island) have had a treacherous feud regarding the ownership of the span of an ocean that lies between the two isles. This feud has been ongoing for generations.
