This Mythscape painting is heavily inspired by an old Bierstadt painting. It began as a study and then turned into a Mythscape piece.
The Gleamhold is the central headquarters of the Gleamseekers, a mages' guild dedicated to the discovery and ethical application of magic. In our Mythscape DnD game my players have been using this area as a home base and recently started building their Bastions there.
This was a good opportunity to play with brushes, focus on painting, and make something without any 3D.
