Skull Throne ARC Contest: Arlen and the Spear
Posted by Meg
Nicole based her entry to the Skull Throne ARC Contest on one of her favorite Arlen scenes. And it is stunning. Check out what she said first:
So I decided on doing one of my favourite scenes when Arlen finds the spear and sand demons rise from the ground. I created this scene via photo manipulation, since I had no time to paint or draw it. It’s a free interpretation of Arlen walking among the rising demons through the ruins of Anoch Sun with the spear in hand.
from the Warded Man … “All Arlen could see was the object clutched in its bandaged hands. A metal spear. Sliding the weapon reverently from the corpse’s stubborn grasp, Arlen marveled at its lightness. It was seven feet long from tip to tip, and the shaft was more than an inch in diameter. The point was still sharp enough to draw blood after so many years. The metal was unknown to Arlen, but that fact flew from his thoughts as he noted something else. The spear was warded. All along its silvery surface the etchings ran, a level of craftsmanship unknown in modern times. The wards were unlike anything he had ever seen. … His heart pounding and his discovery forgotten, Arlen moved through the ruins with incredible speed and alacrity, vaulting fallen pillars and crumbled rock while dodging right and left around the solidifying corelings…”
Such an awesome image. I love the spear and Arlen’s stance. Fantastic. Thanks for entering, Nicole!
