Drizzt and Companions in Icewind Dale

"While journeying across the treacherous mountains of Icewind Dale, Drizzt and his companions came upon the sad remains of an unfortunate traveller. The culprit, a huge yeti, was not happy to have its meal interrupted."

I'm a big fan of the Legend of Drizzt books by R. A. Salvatore, and have wanted to illustrate a proper battle scene with Drizzt and his friends for over a year. I finally got the time to do just that!

It was very challenging to work out the composition of the scene with so many characters, trying to keep it dynamic without being too cluttered, and I ended up using a circular pattern around the big Yeti to frame the chaos.

It's all painted in Photoshop from scratch, and as always, no AI has been used.
