Description
As the warriors survived their encounter with the inhabitant of the Kurast jungle, they split up and went their own ways but planned on meeting up again to continue on their journey. Zayl decided he would travel to the frigid wastelands of Mt. Arreat, home of the barbarians. It also is home to the Cavern of the Ancients which leads to the World Stone. As Zayl approached the entrance to the cavern on top of Mt. Arreat, he met a beautiful woman, who told him that her name was Atanna, a hunter of sorts from the South Seas from where her people live. She hunted demons and other creatures that lurked in the night and dark places, and this time she had come to kill a creature that feasted on the blood of the locals. They told her it was hiding deep within the Cavern of the Ancients and she meant to kill it and help the locals live a more peaceful life. Zayl admire her strength and courage and agreed to help her. The only thing she couldn

beautiful composition.

Fantastic detail. I especially like the texture you used on the rocks.

Wonderfully inspired and executed ... perhaps its just my perception but I feel that maybe the lighting could stand to be reduced by 15-20% but all in all a very well delivered illustration for the storyline. BTW spellcheck

Storybook look, missing the footsteps in the snow.

I have this outfit, but haven't used it....yet. It's a really cool outfit, though, for fantasy like you do. I love this one. Wasn't the ark supposed to have landed on Mount Arreat, too, or maybe it was the Ten Commandments....one of the two. Cool story. :O)

Cool - It's great to see work inspired by such a good game! I agree with victus about the lighting level but it's still a great scene
ShannonHowell
Thanks everybody for the comments and ratings :) I always appreciate them! Actually I think the lighting level is just fine. I know sometimes when we have a snow around here the light outside is so bright that you can't hardly see cause it is reflecting off the snow and that's what I was going for. Which what you see in the image is about what it looks like when we have a hard snow as far as the light level goes. So I think it turned out rather nicely :)

Hmmm, story sounds familiar...ah yes, it's ripped of from Diablo 2:Lord of Destruction
ShannonHowell
No Blunt2k3, it is not ripped from Diablo 2. I've already said that I like to play Diablo 2, and my graphics are based on the Diablo 2 world. so I usually put some names of cities or places in my stories that sound familiar so the viewer can kinda relate to what is going on if they have played Diablo 2. But never did you meet a woman on a quest to kill vampires in Diablo 2. and there was no guy named Zayl with a black horse and a hawk. :o) But thanks to everyone who did like the image :o) I always appreciate your comments.
