The latest “Pen of the Avatar” session with Portalarium’s concept artist, Stephen Daniele, is a bit light on hand-drawin sketches. Instead, Daniele (with Richard Garriott watching) cracks open Photoshop to work on a dragon bone throne…which (we are told) may even become available as house decor after its powerful and evil occupant is defeated.

We also get a look at the complete art creation process that Daniele employed in creating this epic image, from the initial sketch through each and every layer applied to it, leading up to its final look.
