Epochal Oasis

Description

A card illustration for Poxnora, a game by Sony Online Entertainment. The idea behind this card is that a clan of mages or some-such opened a portal to an oasis as a waystation out in the desert. I completed this in October of last year, and it was one of my first forays into overt Photoshop trickery. Those crackling magic lines were painted with a lasso and modifying the selection rather than straight painting them, something my younger and more foolish self might have scoffed at. I'm using tricks like this much more often in my newer work. Call it cheap if you will, but I like to view it as smart use of the tools at hand. And besides, it's a fun challenge in itself to see how simply you can complete a task!
