An oil painting of a fantasy magical creature standing in swirling magical waters with floating rocks or planets around and behind them, Two hands are very translucent so you can see the scenery behind them, Another clawed hand is gesturing possibly to levitate a large device in from of the figure and there are a cluster of rocks streaming from above the hand towards or away from a planet. A fourth hand holds a large sceptre close to the water. The head is hooded with a four pointed star at the apex while the face is covered by a mask and only one eye is visible and focused on the strange shaped multipart metal ornament in front of the figure. The body is covered by a robe of the same material as the cowl. The image is a study based on splash art of the character 'Cosmic Jihn' from the League of Legends game.

’Cosmic Jinh’ – League of Legends study

This was the second in a series of studies I made of ‘splash’ art from computer games that I was playing with friends while I was finishing my studies at Uni. This one was made for a friend (gift + materials cost). It is my interpretation in oil of a splash art image of a League of Legends character and, while the colouring and background are a little different, the painting is fairly true to the original. For this reason, the paintings in this series owe significantly to the intellectual property of the game artists and are not able to be offered for sale. For the same reason I cannot accept commissions for copies of other artist’s work but am happy to create characters and scenes in the same styles on commission.
