Waking the Old One

The artwork depicts a scene from the fantasy novel series 'The Chronicles of the Dwarves' by Markus Heitz. It shows the protagonist, Tungdil Goldhand, a young dwarf, standing on a cliff edge, holding a spear in his hand. In front of him, a gigantic blue whale-like creature is rising out of the sea, surrounded by a stormy sea and snow-covered mountains. The whale is being ridden by a group of dwarves, led by their king, Borin. They are accompanied by a group of humans, including the young woman Islene, who is standing next to Tungdil. The artwork is full of action and adventure, and it captures the epic scope of the novel series.
