No big story behind this one. I just needed something new to make and here we have the result of 2 weeks of work. I'm still surprised how good it feels to create pictures like that one. Once you're done with the picture, it's like you let the people look into a photoalbum to your imagination. Skim through each page and discover new worlds.
A little explanation to the title. When i started the painting i did not have that ruin sit on that mountain thingie there. The mountain then looked much like a wolf teeth peeking into the sky. I never got away from that title... so i left it. A friend of mine made fun of the title and named it "World Of Lurking Faeries". Bullseye.
TECHN!CAL DETA!LS
Once again i worked with digital matte painting techniques. Lots of photo reference. The waterfalls were created with 3dsmax. It was just a test i did. The render suited the painting... so i used the waterfalls in it.
