A Green Bay Painting

Swirls of dark greens sweep across the canvas between a magnificent rockweed-capped cliff and a brilliant cluster of club-fingered coral.

"Bay of Green" -- by Jastalyn Dragorth

A Snow-Laden Vale Painting

Diminutive but exceptionally detailed snowflakes are scattered across the entire canvas, silver-dappled paint mixing with off-white tones that give a shimmering appearance to the painted scene.

"Beauty in Snow" -- by Jastalyn Dragorth

A Roa’ter Painting

The Painting
's canvas is dominated by a huge deep red roa'ter frozen in action as it bursts from stony ground.

A humanoid, tiny by comparison, is seen in the lower left corner, arms raised defensively.

In the Common language, it reads:

"Rolling Ground" -- by Jastalyn Dragorth

A Rolton Painting

Nestled in a downy bed of verdant summer grass, the baby rolton is painted snowy white, blurred brushstrokes giving her wool a dreamlike appearance.

"A Furry Friend" -- by Jastalyn Dragorth

"Frozen in Time" -- by Jastalyn Dragorth

A Nightmare Steed Painting

Emerging from the canvas in a haze of greys is a nightmare steed, its brilliant sanguine-colored eyes stark against the fog-filled background.

"Ride the Nightmare" -- by Jastalyn Dragorth

An Aivren Painting

Frozen in a formidable swoop, the meticulous detail in the aivren's leathery ochre skin gives the Painting
a life-like appearance. Razor-sharp claws clutch a half-eaten victim, crimson blood dripping off the end of the creature's pointed beak. Gradient greys form deep shadows along its underbelly, and a bloated bulge is suggestive of a recent meal.

"Swoop and Capture" -- by Jastalyn Dragorth
