In Victoria Goddard's fantasy novel, At the Feet of the Sun, a character must face figures from legend armed with his mundane bureaucratic experiences. This illustration shows the Sun in confusion, frustrated and outwitted by a mortal.
The radiance of the Sun is represented using painterly techniques and the vibrancy of digital markmaking to create high tension color combinations. By using only opaque, clean-edged strokes, I represent the intensity of the scene.
