Wonder what this is...

I have seen the promo piece has been viewed... But not comments... What does everyone think?

to be perfectly honest, it took me a really long time to figure out what I was looking at. then I finally realized I was looking down from above over a guy looking down from above over a guy hanging from a cliff (right?). even then, while the scene became clearer if I concentrated upon the center of the piece, looking at the whole still left me disoriented and confused - the top third and bottom third aren't easy on my eyes

So was this something you found in your archives or is this a new project? It looks promising to me!

Who is Dalacroy again?
Intriguing perspective. Is this all in monochrome? I have a certain fondness for such when done well. I like this one very much.

Read me soon in The Return of the Sword!

I like the look of it. There's enough going on in that one picture to ask several questions about the story. It certainly grabbed my attention.

Hmm, my guess is it's a new FS calendar. With a new piece of art each month. Each piece of art will tell a story, then when we get to December we find the climax to the tale.

You'll have to read The Marsh God, Catacombs of Dharwataqan, Homecoming, Night of the Meld and the upcoming Abuse of Power to find out.

Well, maybe not all of them. One will suffice...
