4 bookmarks painted in watercolor with scenes inspired by the video game series The Banner Saga. Bookmark one is a vertical painting of a man standing on top of a huge grey rock against a light blue background and holding a red banner flowing down the rock. The man is wearing a red cape. Bookmark two is a vertical painting of a red banned with golden trim draped over a rock carved in the shape of a stylized human figure. Bookmark three is a horizontal painting of a row of people holding shields standing on top of a snowy cliff overlooking the sea. One of them is holding a very long and narrow red banner in the wind. Bookmark four is a horizontal painting of again people with shields following a cart on the edge of a forest. Once again there is a narrow and long red banner floating in their wake.
Some old Banner Saga bookmarks that I still love.

The artwork is made up of many different petroglyph-inspired animal figures. The animals are all moving to the left. In the foreground you see three wolves and four ravens chasing after two bull elk and one doe in fairly dark lines. In the background are similar style elk that use smaller artwork and lighter lines to represent being further away. All the foreground animals have gold foil circles into their design around their heart's location and airway location. The entire piece has been given a distressed treatment.
This is probably the largest art I've made in a long time; it's 16x48 inches at 300dpi. All of the animals are inspired by petroglyphs and cave art from around the world on top of the shapes found within the animals themselves. #art #caveart #petroglyph #deer #wolves #ravens #raven #wolf #elk
