I’m not quite sure where this door will lead yet. I’m thinking it will lead to bright magical sparks or energy flows flying around, maybe I’ll figure out a mist blowing in around the girl and her dress? I’m aiming for something like that. :slight_smile:

Playing around with the perspective Vanishing Point and Parallel Ruler tools this time.

I have another composition that I started beside the one I am posting below. That first one not only used my favorite guide, the rule of thirds, it also employed vanishing point.

I’m also using photo references for this art;

So it’s a MMM… Not to be confused with M&M’s! :laughing:
I’m curious about what it can do, apart from breaking the skulls of your ennemies and opening cans with one of the spikes. And also, how do you grab it? The handle seems quite spiky too… :thinking:

I don’t consider myself a magic based party member so no idea how it works. Now if you need assistance with maces or cudgels I’m your guy🤣
