This new Elsweyr art that was shared on their Facebook is simply amazing, it looks like Magic the Gathering style art, it's so detailed, and I love love LOVE the little Alfiq!

    The Alfiq looks EXACTLY like my blue-mitted Ragdoll, Bastet! Even has the white chin and the big, fluffy 'bloomers'! :D

    Great artwork and extra props for Ragdoll Alfiq!

    The picture is good indeed. I wonder no one asks of why are there two suns in the sky.

    One of those "suns" may be one of the moons? Or perhaps it's both moons, with one partially eclipsing the sun, looking at the flare....

    We all see the moons. But look behind each of them to see the sources of light those moons cover. There are also two of them. I also don't remember Euraxia engaging into a fight in the frontlines. Well, I guess it's just a picture with no historical lore-based truth demand. An awesome one, but it is a lie depicted on it. Anyway, let it be.

    No, you are wrong. Sylvermynx is correct. Let it go now.

    I've already done it. Still want to argue with me on who's right? You let it go now.

    Guys, drop it. Lore is what ZOS and Bethesda make it.

    And yes, the art is stupendous! Just wish it didn't have titles/lettering on it....

    I have always been awestruck by the high level of artwork in ESO...and lamented that the rest off the organization seems to struggle to get it's act together.

    One moon eclipses the sun (large halo), the other moon reflects sunlight on the upper left side.

    One sun, two moons ...

    It's also likely the last key art by that artist, who moved to a different position within ZOS. It's also his cat.



    Wonder what we'll see next!

    Lucas Slominski is amazing, his key art pieces all stand out in their great detail and vitality. I'm still waiting for ZOS to release an art book with all his pieces.
    A pity that his tweet says he won't be doing any more work for ESO, though I'll be sure to follow him if he keeps making fantasy illustrations in the future.

    You guys want me to explain you something? You'd both better go back to school classes of physics and study what a lighting reflection is, if you don't know but still argue on any matter just because it is your habit. Read the posts above to understand at last that this matter was closed hours ago! Don't resurrect it, damned necromancers. I say I see Secunda eclipsing the "second" sun on that picture. Such is the way it seems to be depicted there to me, such is the way I see it. You see that picture that way - that's good, no questions here. I see it differently. Is that clear for you now? There are three of you already who want to argue on tastes and viewpoints matter with me alone here - I wonder where do the likes of you come from. Read it twice before mocking again. Drop it, as Sylvermynx said it, and calm.. the hell down. Brain boxes.

    Now that's some seriously sad news. :( While he'll still stay at bethesda/zos, I wonder what will he do now... Probably a new game I don't even care to know... :(
