Fantasia
This is the Verse of magic, high fantasy, and folktale. The level of technology is much lower than our own, because the very essence of Fantasia is a powerful mystical energy, rendering technology in many ways unnecessary. Beings who can manipulate the fabric of the Verse in significant ways either wield arcane power, or are themselves inherently magical.
Hobbits, Faeries, Elves and the like are commonly found here. Intelligent animals and beast/human hybrids live in Fantasia. Structures are often organic in material components and appearance, and the very land itself is suffused with a palpable sense of life and sentience.
Much of the scenery is in greens and blues, as seas and forests are typical settings, but browns and rusty reds in caves, mountains, and underground lairs are not unusual. The most common forms of cities, when they do exist here, look to have been grown out of plant life, or sung out of living stone rather than constructed according to plan or blueprint. A fundamental premise here is living in harmony, with the environment, and with others.

Artist Statement:
This was part of a series of small oil paintings done as I explored the thought of animal spirit guides. I also thought of people that can see spirits or shape shifters and what that person would look like. Would they have a resemblance to the observant wise owl? Can we sense if someone is a shapeshifter by their personality traits? Are they guided by certain kinds of animal spirits?

Artist Statement:
I always wonder what other civilizations in the universe are like. When looking into the night sky seeing many stars and looking back in time I’ve thought about everyday life of aliens and that they tend to do some of the same types of activities that we do. I try to give these types of paintings a realistic yet alien feel to draw in the viewer and lead them to create their own scenarios of everyday alien life.
Pandora's Butterfly Box

Artist Statement:
This is a large oil painting I created for a personal project. My goal was to explore ancient legends and put a new twist on them. Originally, Pandora opened the box setting free all kinds of pestilence upon the earth. Maybe Pandora was the tale of a dark twin, whereas the other twin, upon opening the box, would release peace and beauty.

Artist Statement:
This was a personal piece. I wanted to create a figure that somewhat represented both life and death—the power of spirit. My friend and fellow artist Chris Rush had just suddenly passed away. His Black Lotus art had a huge impact on this piece. The flower in her hair acknowledges Chris, designed on the day I found out he had suddenly died. Her power is the chain—in terms of what binds us to this earth and can weigh us down or help us fight.

Jeff Laubenstein has given this painting to the Verses team to exclusively mint as an NFT for the first time. This minting marks the passage of this image from the physical world into the Verses. This edition is the only Foundation Edition of Al-Suyá that will ever be made.

You can play with this as a full art card in Verses games.
Artist Statement:
The subject is a valiant mouse. He is a hero. A symbol of noble, earnest and modest means and a character at the heart of the world of CAIRN. He puts his trust in the inherent goodness of his fellow creatures but also wears a blue bead to ward off foes, and keeps his trusty sword close by. Inspired as much by Stuart Little as the creatures of Redwall, Cairn was a setting for storytelling and adventuring. Otters, ground hogs, meerkats, rabbits, and many other player creatures populated the world, created a community and banded together to seek out adventure and to protect their village and families. Al-Suya was the first color piece I did for the game after creating dozens of furry characters. His bold nature may be a bit tentative, but he is reliable and ready for whatever challenges and rewards the world may have for him and his friends.

"While we assume dragon's hoards are usually made up of gold and shiny objects, I thought of all the other things they might collect and as it was a book club the commission was for, I thought to add a hoard of books. Since the dragon can't read, it found a captive to read to it. The captive's beard grows longer and longer as the years go by." - Pat morrisey-Lewis
Dear People

Artist Statement:
From time to time, we are confronted by a piece of artwork that raises a lot of questions. Dear People by artist Drew Tucker is one such work. During a lull in illustration assignments, Tucker was looking to create a study in brighter colors than his favored darker, more somber tones.
Inspired by a sculpture he’d seen, he set about writing down details that could be incorporated into the work, sketching out aspects before laying them down in the original. As to the meaning, the piece represented his thoughts on how mankind and the animal kingdom coexist. His interpretation ended with a blending of the two, haunting but beautiful.
