Ancestral Trail Tree of Life with Dragons

This is my Ancestral Trail fan art, paying tribute to the iconic magazines that captivated me as a child. Published between 1992 and 1994, these magazines were a treasure trove of fantastic illustrations that sparked my imagination. I wanted to breathe new life into some of these incredible artworks by bringing them to reality. The original masterpieces were crafted by Julek Heller, a true artist whose talent continues to inspire me. This piece is an engraved version of the design, and I envision it coming alive with dark ink in the recessed sections to create a stunning contrast. However, I have also created an embossed version where the details rise above the background - check out https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3084851 for a sneak peek. While both versions have their charm, I personally prefer the first one.
