Art Director: Zack Stella

I am honored to present the preliminary drawing for the portrait of Planeswalker Mordenkainen from the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons and Dragons expansion. This drawing was created to concretely establish all major and secondary elements of the composition before moving into the final color.

This portrait of Mordenkainen envelopes so much of what I love about my career as an artist - from portraiture, to narrative storytelling, rendering of various textures, surfaces, dramatic lighting effects, and most importantly conveying a sense of wonder and mystery. We may never know what the wizard was working upon as we interrupted his contemplative thoughts in his study, but we can be certain we will feel the wrath of his ire!

An 18" x 24", signed and numbered, Giclee Print of the final color art is included with the price.
