guardian-of-the-sands-fantasy-artwork

Tall and standing on a distant world where twin suns give shadow a strange double quality — the guardian of the sands is alien in the way only a figure built for different gravity and different light can be. The iridescent garmets don't reference any specific cultural tradition; they respond to light from positions that don't correspond to anything here. There is nothing threatening about the posture. This is a watcher rather than a combatant — a different kind of authority, suited to large walls in living rooms and open spaces.
