Nissa Revane & Dhiren Baral

As the final project for my art school, I decided to paint an illustration for every member of the Gatewatch from Magic: the Gathering, as if I was working for Wizards. I tried to emulate the process of being given a brief by them and sticking to it. My teachers took the role of the Art Director as well.
In this one I depicted Nissa and her elementals coming to help Chandra, who was being pursued by Baral and his thopters in Kaladesh.

Final. I decided to make it look more like a midday scene.
