Zachary-A-Valerian

A collection of artworks serving as inspiration for the Chronicles of Altgaea : Records of the Black King's Wars, a fantasy world-building and writing project I'm currently working on. The whole work is intended as an affectionate parody of, and a not-too-serious hommage to, classic medieval-ish epic and adventure fantasy, the kind found in traditional table top RPGs such as D&D, DSA(The Dark Eye), and Pathfinder, and also a great many fantasy novels and video games. So, to make it clear, this project isn't intended to be original, to the contrary, so if you're looking for something avant-garde, cutting edge, and most of all, DARK AND GRITTY, this isn't going to be for you. With THAT said, I'm going to be playing with tropes a little, a bit like the late Sir Terry Pratchett did with his Discworld.
