Is really cool. Question: How long did this take you? I mean for Christ's sake that's a lot of detail.

thanks! Between the time I first sat down and decided to draw a castle, and the day I posted this, it was almost 2 years. The largest amount of time (~8months) was spent on this design: [link]

The details seen here are beautifully intricate... it's almost a mix of classical Roman and medieval gothic.

good eye I actually used a lot of different references for various parts spanning a few old and ancient architectural styles.

I know! It was incredible how you fused different architectural designs from different times into one cohesive design. I think that's what gives it the fantasy atmosphere about it.

Wow, this is amazing! I have no head for architecture, personally. There's a real feeling of size and space here that I find fascinating. I've also always rather liked the idea of a whole city in a building.

this is stunning- I love how much detail you put into this.
This would certainly be a feat to build, and a lot of stairs to climb
