Piece description from the artist
In English, Welsh, and Scottish folklore, there exists two kinds of fairies, the two courts. The daytime (especially dawn and twilight) is for the court of the Seelie, but the night is the time of the Unseelie. The Unseelie court is the more wicked of the two and is comprised of the more troublesome of the fey, creatures such as boggles, bogies, and boggarts. Though not necessarily evil or malevolent, they tend to lean that way.
Here is an image inspired by the idea of the Unseelie court. A dark faerie queen sits on a stone throne in a patch of mushrooms where lies a moss covered human skull. Next to her stands her chief boggart, who appears has a horned man carrying a magic staff that lights the scene. An array of other goblins and and dark creatures fill the scene, with even more glowing eyes peering from the darkness beyond.
I created this image during the Halloween season of 2018 for an art contest…which I wound up not entering as it took me too long to complete the scene. …but I still like the way it turned out.

Daniel Eskridge
Daniel is a forty-something living in the Metro-Atlanta area, and he is one of the few people who was actually born and raised there. He is also married and has two sons and a daughter. By day, he works as software engineer at a small company. By night he is an artist producing realist works depicting scenes of American wildlife, farm animals, fantasy scenes, extinct animals, and images of the "American Wild West":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Frontier.
Daniel has dual degrees in computer science and fine art from the University of Georgia. Given his education, it would seem only natural for him to combine the two by producing art using a computer. Daniel practices a new form of art called "3D Rendering":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_rendering, a form of virtual sculpting with a computer. This form of art is utilized by film studios for special effects as well as animated movies, but it can be used to make stills as well. "Check out this video of Daniel creating a 3D rendering!":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvoSvRhYPr4
Daniel’s interest in art began when he was young. As a fan of science fiction and fantasy novels, he became particularly interested in the works of the illustrators that appeared on the covers, such as "Frank Frazetta":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Frazetta and "Michael Whelan":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Whelan. In college, he discovered the work of the "French Realists":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realism_(arts), the "Pre-Raphaelites":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Raphaelite_Brotherhood, and the "Hudson River School":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_River_School, which further influenced him and put his work on a course where nature was the dominant theme.
