Ancient Discovery

An hermit discovers an ancient shield and tome in some long forgotten ruins, unaware of the patron of those objects is witnessing their discovery from outside reality.
Inspired by a backstory for a DnD character I conjured up of a Great Old One Warlock and where he discovered his patron. Stay tuned as I am planning on adding color to this beast and bring it to a full scale color illustration.
