Description
edit, Jun 2013: Came back and re-worked this piece after the fortress popped up in the storyboards for a new chapter I'm working on. Still one of my favorite pieces; I just brought the character models up to date and added a little light and atmosphere (download if you want the big version). Looking forward to sharing a big chunk of Echo's story soon!"You can approach Lionskeep by land, or even by sea, through the harbor at the base of the rock pillar. But nothing reveals its glory like a descent from above; a glimmering jewel perched atop Laaki falls. Part fortress, part palace, Lionskeep harbors the worlds most extensive library, making it a destination for scholars and philosophers from lands near and far. Its as safe a place as any in this world, Echo, and your keen mind will find many kindred spirits there."
Another step towards developing my creator-owned book, title still pending.
edit: opened up the space a bit by getting rid of the nearest eagle head.
edit 2: Hiro comes to join the fun.
edit 3: ! Very appreciative and humbled by the DD, and so glad that its for a piece with my own characters and story (still very much in the works at this point). Thank you very much to and , and to all of the very encouraging comments and faves. I'm terrible at responding to comments anyway, and my backlog just got a bit larger (

Yeah, for real. Your stuff is great; your light and shadow areas in particular are always very well done.

Yup. I'm not advertising at the moment, since my workload is about where I like it, but I could certainly do one if you are interested; just note me and we can talk shop.

Thanks! I may be posting pages here to begin with, actually. Finding a publisher can be a long and fruitless process, so its nice to share the work as its finished.

Thanks. I'm terrible with that question, since I tend to work on five things at once and hop back and forth. This was a week from start to finish; boiled down it would probably have been about two full days.

Fantastic! The perspective of the keep, combined with the placement of the eagles, create a terrific sense of depth.

Beautiful piece; solid colours, bold lines, and a very professional look. I particularly like the Oriental influence of the buildings, but the whole piece is outstanding - so packed with detail!

Thanks! I'm a big Tibet-o-phile; the castle was influenced in part by the Potala: [link] That, and Japanese pagodas, and a bunch of random design elements.
