Enter Vaeloria
Welcome, Seeker.
You've stumbled upon the threshold of Vaeloria—a world stitched together by myth, magic, and memory. Here, the wilds breathe, crystals hum with elemental power, and creatures both wondrous and haunted roam lands fractured by an ancient catastrophe known only as the Sundering.
Vaeloria is not just a story—it is a living tapestry of artwork, lore, and mystery, crafted from my heart, brushstroke by brushstroke.
Within these galleries, you’ll meet its guardians: the Verdant creatures who protect the balance, the dragons born of gemstone and storm, the corrupted, the lost, and the legends still unfolding.
Each piece is a fragment of this realm’s soul, connected by hidden clues and whispered riddles.
Some may lead you deeper.
Some may warn you away.
But all of them hold a truth… if you’re willing to look.
So step through.
Wander the Hollowwood. Climb Embercrest. Listen to the wind.
And remember: Vaeloria does not reveal itself to the unworthy.
Process- Creating the Rune of Liraeth
Starting with beautiful wooden gothic arch panel that unfolds and opens like a window to another world, I carved the runes, burned the vines, painted on the colors, and finally added a glowing resin in the carved runes for the magical glowing portal effect. I finished it all off with a layer of varnish. All there is left to do is paint the hidden world of Vaeloria in the opened panels. For this reveal you must wait.
The Rune of Liraeth - Lore
The Rune itself symbolizes the slumbering ancient power buried beneath centuries of silence—magic once abundant, now nearly erased from memory, waiting to be reawakened by those who still dream in wild colors and moonlight. It's tied to the spirit of creatives, dreamers, and outcasts—those who carry sparks of wonder in a world dulled by logic and exhaustion. It is the quiet resistance of beauty, wonder, and connection in a society that forgets to look up at the stars.
Legends whisper that those who truly see the Rune of Liraeth aren't just dreamers—but Seekers.
When touched by a soul burdened with longing, this glowing symbol awakens. The air thickens. Time trembles. A silver light spirals outward, and the Seeker is pulled through the veil—into the hidden realm of Vaeloria.
The trees hum ancient lullabies. Rivers carry memories. Every creature is a guardian, every ruin a lesson. The portal appears only to those whose hearts still hold fragments of forgotten wonder… and a wound they don’t yet understand.
Each Seeker is led on a path uniquely shaped for them.
Not a path to escape, but a path to remember—
Who they are.
Who they were always meant to be.
And what power they carry back into the waking world.
The adventures are emotional quests. Healing quests. Trials that mirror real-life fears and struggles—but transformed into something beautiful and mystical. You don’t fight dragons to slay them—you learn from them. You don’t conquer darkness—you embrace it, understand it, make peace with it.
The Secret
The Rune of Liraeth was once part of an ancient, forgotten magic—hidden away because the world stopped believing in transformation through enchantment. It waits, quietly glowing, hidden in art, in forests, in dreams… waiting to call the next Seeker home.
The Statue of Liraeth Willowen
Some say she was Vaeloria before it even had a name—its breath, its song, given form.
Rare are those who see her. Even rarer are those who recognize her. But all who've truly healed in Vaeloria... have felt her touch.
She sees not the future, but the essence of what could grow in someone. She doesn’t force, she nurtures and heals.
She is so rarely seen because she has the ability to dissappear by emotionally and spiritually attuning to the nature around her—blending into trees, stone, wind, even light if the feeling is right.
She dawns 5 peridot crystals: one in the palm of each hand, one in her diadem, one in her staff, and one in her heart. This statue of Liraeth is said to be infused with some of her healing magic, if you stumble upon it wounded, reach out for Liraeth's blessing. Maybe the power comes from the statue’s crystals, though some believe, she watches from the wood, hiding in plain sight and heals you herself.
Inspiration and Process
A digital drawing, inspired by the goddess statues in Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
She stands beneath the willow trees, in front of a pond filled with water lilies. She holds a staff of creation, her power comes from her hands, her mind and her heart.
I created depth using an abundance of layers and textures, a balance of shadow and light, and glowing details.
Taurus - The Verdant Guardian
Lore
The Verdant Guardian
Keeper of Cycles - Guardian of Earth’s Quiet Power
This Guardian embodies Earth: steady, stubborn, protective.
It is not swift to anger, but once roused, it becomes the storm beneath the soil.
The Verdant Guardian is the Cycle’s Warden. What rots shall feed new life. What blooms shall one day fall,
All who enter its Grove feel the ancient weight of seasons past- and the quiet promise that nothing truly ends.
Process
The first zodiac creature I made. This is a digital drawing of the embodiment of Taurus.
Taurus is an earth sign and the animal is a bull, so I combined these elements and infused them with a little Vaelorian magic.
The crystal bond of this guardian is moss agate and the antlers are wrapped in lily of the valley flowers, the birth flower corresponding with Taurus.
It is imprinted with the glowing Taurus constellation as will all my Zodiac guardians.
