Recently I completed an open art challenge put on by WotC art director Jon Schindehette on his blog Art Order. It's been a lot of hard work and a lot of fun. Here is the assignment brief:

Description
Setting - A cavern
Characters - A Male Dwarf Fighter and a Hook Horror
Scene - The dwarf has just delivered a mighty smack to the hook horror and knocked it backward through a stalagmite and/or stalactite.
Details: The dwarf is wearing heavy scale mail armor. Wielding a war hammer and a heavy shield.

The aspect ratio is correct.

I added the little Hook Horror chicks for fun.

    Nice subversive piece. I love the fact that you cast the dwarf as, arguably, the villain in this piece with the addition of those cute little Hook Horror hatchlings. Well done, sir.

    Thanks again Daniel. Competition was a bust but what can you do:) I think the dwarf wasn't heroic enough or something. What can I say, I usually root for the monsters:)

    Thanks for the cheers Aria3d:) Right back at ya!
