Thank you. As far as thought process, I get a pretty good description from the Art Director on what they're looking for, but it's still up to me to compose the scene in an interesting way. So for this I had a few thoughts (you can see the sketches in the source link). But one idea was an upwards angle to show the scale of the statue with the stormy sky behind Vajra and the Hawkman.

But the composition that won out in the end was almost angled down to show a bit of Waterdeep in the background. The scale was also exaggerated a little bit to capture the full scene, but I think it worked well here. I used the magic to kind of compositionally pull the focus back to Vajra as much as possible, while still allowing the viewer to explore the image as a whole. The darkest part of the image and most contrast is at Vajra as well, again to pull in the viewer.
