Fantasy Environment

Hi guys, Here's another environments i did during my free time, i hope you like it.  Thanks for viewing.

Surrender of the Ashed Sanctuary


The Story:

Back from the obligatory worship in the mountains of Sartocampo, Arthuluccio, the leader of the of the obscene Antisanti cult, was stunned by the state of their sanctuary destroyed to ashes by the knights of Salvicristi.

All his people were burned inside the edifice while they were in a big preparation for the offering of the most beautiful man of the land to the evil god Narcisterrono. This happens on the 13 th Friday of the hidden 13th month every 13 years. The ritual for the offering was unfulfilled and this means great fall on the power of their evil god.

Arthuluccio fled surrendering the sanctuary that was reduced to ashes, determined to seek revenged to the people fighting the power of the Antisanti and lay upon them the rage of evil Narcisterrono.

 This is a personal art i did during my free time, it was a speed painting and later on i  just wanted to keep it  more detail and added interesting subjects.

Zhajyrah

Behind the gentle face of Zhajyrah is a ferocious naga siren. Her beauty hides the vicious persona of a cunning warrior never to be trusted. She had advanced her underwater abilities, mastered the magic of her ancestors and the power of her voice which could stun and cripple a throng of enemies in less than a second.

Despite her unpredictable power and remarkable intelligence, she had a selective loss of memory which she acquired from a battle she almost lose 3000 years ago. Since then, she has been in constant search for her identity. The snake staff is her weapon and the keeper of her deadly spells and the crystal amulet which she carries guides her in finding the pieces of her past.


Zhajyrah’s beauty is deceitful. Her blank and innocent stare could already mean a plot for destruction. This is how she wins her battles. After all, she is a warrior and lives in and for winning the war.

To the Brightness of the Day


from the shadows of the past
in the forest of sorrow
a scarred helpless soul
clinging to memories

in the break of dawn
fragrance of pheromones
a fast awakening
a discernment to move on

guided by your colors
these weary lonesome feet
followed your lead
to the brightness of the day

you were there
under the flickering rays of the sun
fragile butterfly wings
little fairies dancing in the light

who am i to refuse
the beauty of my muse
I was then a desolate heart
longing for a new beginning

my day now filled with happiness
and when darkness sets in
beautiful wings will lead me
to a new day once again
