Cavern of the Trogledyte Commission

[arsheesh]

Hi everyone,

Here's another commission I recently completed for Martin Lambert for the forthcoming Heroe's Tears RPG setting. This was an interesting piece in that while it depicts an underground complex, the ceiling of the cavern is composed of some sort of transparent crystal, creating a lush "bio-dome" sort of environment below-ground. This area was formerly inhabited by elves but now troglodytes have made their home in the roots and fungi of the great trees. Drawing was done in Krita, lettering in Inkscape.

Cheers,

Gorgeous stuff Arsheesh.
It's very flowy and sinuous.

edit - drats... more spreading rep.
This seems more like a glitch.

Thanks, I took inspiration from some Spidey comics for the look of the webs.

Nice concept. I love the tree roots and the shading/highlights. They're very well done.

There's way too many spiders around the Guild lately!

Nice drawing! Love the organic feel!
The only thing that bothers me a teeny tiny bit, is that there is a tree labeled "cavern entrance". To me, that's confusing at first glance. Thinking more about it, I guess the idea was that the tree grows out of the cavern and you would have to climb down the tree to actually get inside?
