Apotheosis: An exalted or glorified example.

This was a piece done for a digital imaging class back in January of 2023. The project had to depict a word no one else in the class knew. I made it with a heavy inspiration from the high fantasy from Magic the Gathering. I chose to make red mana the main focus in the piece. My original idea was originally to use white mana and use an angelic being on a tower, but Red is my favorite color to play in the game and the idea of a wizard staring down from the top of a mountain at the view was a more interesting idea to work with. I wanted to give the impression of a red player about to win the game with overwhelming power.

The background and point of view were inspired by the art for the card Blood Moon done by Franz Vohwinkel.

I like how this piece turned out, though I wish I made the silhouette more in line with the "painterly" style of the rest of the composition.

I been debating if I should do a piece similar to this one in each color.
