(C)2009 Jon Hodgson. Do not reproduce without permission.

A reworking of an older painting for the cover of Issue 2 of free Dragon Warriors ezine Ordo Draconis. The original painting featured a bunch of demi-humans, which don't fit the low fantasy world of DW so well. Cue some quick painting out and painting in again and we have a party of more fitting human adventurers!

I thought I had seen this one before, but the characters did not quite match with my memory. Until I read your description. :)
What I admire in your work (and in the work of professional illustrators of your skills) is the dramatic component of your images: it is not just telling a story, but more like suggesting it in such a way that the viewer cannot help but let his/her mind wandering towards things which happened before the scene, and will happen after. But I assume that everyone's personal story differs, and in that the illustration is fully "open", if this means anything at all.
With a little luck and years of work, maybe one day I will be able to do that too !
Hats off once again,

As beautiful as the predecessor.
I really like te feeling of the cold and wind here. It's like that winter mornings, so quiet and peaceful. All that moss and grass makes up for the comfortable mood, in contrast to the warriors, the dungeon and the dangers and violence lurking beneath the door.
