The Palace of Madness

Didn't think I'd whip up more Shadows of Wiccumshire concept art so soon, did you? Well, neither did I, so... 

Here we have one of the most pivotal locations in the entire game: the Palace of Madness. It's something of an eldritch location that sits smack-dab in the middle of the Province of Wiccumshire, Angland. Sealed deep within its walls is a threat to the very fabric of reality, which was successfully apprehended by a group of witches long ago. Soon afterwards the witches formed a community often referred to as the Shadows of Wiccumshire, since their job is to maintain the magic seal that keeps the entity within bound, and thus live outside the main community. About every three generations or so, the Helrynega clan sends off one of their own to renew the contracts with the five spirits that help the witches retain the seal on the Palace (the player character can be named by you, but since she's a member of this clan, I simply call her Helrynega. The only other members are her mother and grandmother). Since these magic seals are scattered all across Wiccumshire (in the shape of a pentagram, obviously), she must travel to each in order to renew the spirits' contracts. Normally, this would be a fairly routine ordeal, but not this time around... 

But anyway, enough story for now. I really like how this came out, so much so that I decided to make it an art print. I tried something a little different with the coloring, and I think it worked really well. I think muted secondary colors will probably be a chromatic theme in Shadows of Wiccumshire.
