According to Tom Jencott, Senior Creative Art Director at Wizards of the Coast, many of Ross's works depict Alaskan landscapes, with 'islands,' 'mountains,' and 'forests' quickly determined. However, it was a little difficult to sort out 'swamp' and 'flat land'. In particular, I couldn't find a good landscape painting depicting the flat ground, and one of the two types of 'flat ground' seems to be a part of the work enlarged and only the flat ground cut out.
Also, according to the IT news site Motherboard, the special land card 'Evolving Undeveloped Land' that comes with the set also uses Mr. Ross's work. It seems that it was difficult to find a fictitious landscape from Mr. Ross's work, but Mr. Jencot said, 'The biggest achievement was to find a picture that is perfect for' the evolving wilderness 'from Mr. Ross's work. Not only forests, flatlands, and watersides, but also the mysterious brilliance of the waves is expressed in the painting, which expresses how it is evolving. '
In addition, Happy Little Gathering can be pre-ordered from the following official website from November 30th to December 14th, 2020.
