I'm an avid player of the MMO "Elder Scrolls Online". It's been one of my favorite games since I began playing MMOs and is part of the reason I got into doing a lot more artwork than I would've. An enemy type that has really stuck with me is and will always be the Voidmothers. Entities of the Void itself.
The Dark Heart of Skyrim was a favorite and going into Markarth and actively seeing the Dark Heart was what really inspired me to make this piece honoring that questline. The real challenge was the ghostly corona of the heart and getting it right but also ensuring that the absence of light and the absorption of things around it was really sold. Having to sell that effect in this piece was tough but in the end I learned a lot and this piece really did push my limits (and my patience, lovingly of course)
