Xexarasix's Path


This is the second picture in the piece, illustrating the destruction that follows in the Terror's wake and what was happening to everything and everyone it encountered as long as it remained unchallenged. The ruins of a town are seen burning and I organized the layers so that the Terror and his smokey presence would appear after a moment so that the audience could first absorb the destruction of the town, and then be made aware of what caused it, though from the last picture it would probably already be obvious.

I went with a very red / fiery colour palette here because it reflects the loss of life that occured around this time in the story. Whilst you can't see any visible dead bodies it's implied that many people died or were killed in these attacks, and it was a very dark time for humanity.

This picture is important because it cements the Terror's place as a dangerous and powerful enemy.
