Temple Handshake

Here's a preview piece of art for an upcoming RPG game I have the privilege to contribute to - "Do: Fate of the Flying Temple" by Daniel Solis, to be published by Evil Hat Productions.

This is going to be a really cool game, and one that's good for introducing younger players to RPGs. The art direction I was given for this piece gives a good idea of the overall tone of the game:

"The three pilgrims gather in the middle of ancient ruins to discuss what they will do now that the temple has disappeared. They agree that their mission of helping people in need should continue, regardless of the temple’s existence. It’s just the right thing to do. They agree to this new pledge with an all-together handshake. In the distance, amidst the ruins, we might see the silhouette of the dragon observing this pledge intently. The dragon will be learning from the pilgrims while they go on their adventure, so they must set an example for what will potentially be a very powerful force in the universe to come. Still, each pilgrim approaches this pledge with a light heart, only Marked Ghost showing a sense of sincere solemnity."

Artistically, this is me trying to push my mastery of backgrounds and art that looks something like an animation screencap.
