A purple-skinned tiefling woman with small horns gently cradles her horned infant wrapped in an ornate blanket, bathed in soft light. Vamiprela stands confidently before a full moon, her bat-like wings spread wide as her red outfit and black boots catch the moonlight. A fair-haired elf with white feathered wings and elegant jewelry poses gracefully in a rich, multicolored gown. A woman in a flowing blue robe conjures glowing golden strands of magic between her hands against a night sky. A man in a suit and patterned shawl looks back in alarm as a colossal, glowing automaton carries him. An elf blacksmith with short hair and pointed ears grips a large white hammer, standing poised before an ornate background.

Elsa Kroese‘s portfolio reveals glimpses of the remarkable heroes called to these pivotal moments – figures poised on the precipice of action, existing just beyond the veil of legend.
