About Darkness Falls On Faerie Land

WELCOME TO DARKNESS FALLS MEMBERS

There is a very impressive quality of artwork here. Some fantastic atmospheric beautiful wild landscapes and fantastic magical beings created by the Darkness Falls members. It's really special to see all of these artworks in here together at such an amazing level of excellence in this group. So well done to all of the members and welcome once again. Please take some time to look around and comment on these amazing works.
I really like how a lot of the Darkness Falls pictures relate to each other by capturing an atmosphere with an almost cinematic quality and create a story book full of beautiful and frightening scenes that are reminiscent of Arthur Rackam, Brian froud, Tim Burton.

A FEW MORE POINTERS
Pictures of fantasy and the fantastic, great atmosphere and magic. Pictures of trees and lakes, woodlands and wetlands that invite you with beautiful glimmering light even though decay danger may lay waiting in the darkness.
Aim for Soulful, magical, amazing fantastic earthy fairytale images NOT cutesy, sickly, naff, commercial my little pony images.

MPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU ARE STILL NOT SURE
