Description
High in the mountains of Tibet, in the dwelling-place of the gods themselves, the adamant citadel city was forged by the hands of mortals. It was carved and crafted out of white limestone, through eons of manual labor in the frigid conditions of eternal winter, to defy nature itself.The thin mountain air of the pass was knowing for curing the deadliest of diseases and thus holy men from all world religions had made pilgrimage into the mountains, to dedicate another temple to the site, constructed and added onto by their followers.
The monumental, heavy buildings pierced the mountain, open to all the winds, defying all enemies and opposing even the harsh hands of time.

The amount of detail in this composition is mind-blowing - everything is lovingly rendered with such intricacy that it creates a certain realism that breaches the third dimension, no, the fourth dimension, even. Nothing in my eloquence can describe how much I'm awed and inspired by this piece - I also like reading the descriptions of your pieces as well, which evoke more powerful meaning into your work. There is nothing to critique - the only thing I can say is this: pure perfection.

the shape of the landscape and contrast of the ominous feel of the land against the sudden opening of light from the sky that seems hopeful is great

An incredible fantasy city - but is it a mystic retreat of The Ancients or the gateway to The Mountains of Madness? Either way it's absolutely beautiful.
