Long Description

This section has a long description of the final artwork.

A tower in the middle of a stormy sea, the painting has visible brushstrokes and textures to show sea foam, rain, waves. The agitated sea is a deep emerald green, while the skies and towers are dark, saturated blue. The building is a single tall tower meant to me a prison fortress. It’s made of stacked, irregular rectangular concrete-like structures. There is a bright red light source glowing from it’s windows and a massive keyhole shaped archway entrance. White-hot lightning bolts flashed the structure’s right side in electric blues. On the bottom of the image there is cyan blue and purple logo with the text “Arcana Resurgence”.
