Description As people who have perused my gallery/favorites may know, I have a weakness for labyrinths and things of the sort. I am rather pleased how this came out, especially the texturing...I really wish this could be a real place...

On another note, this piece is entered in a wonderful labyrinth contest held by . Which can be found here

i like it but it does look a bit fake coz the edges and everything are far too neat and a bit plasticy
but other than that its cool x

I know, I tried to stop to compensate for it through the unevenness of the texturing, but I do see your point regardless.

Magnificent piece! The scale is so impressive, and I love the curve of the hedges at the side. It's such a rich atmosphere. Beautiful.

Thank you so much. Scale is something I have very much been trying to improve upon in recent pieces, and I am glad it shows through in this one.

If you count this as new work and such then sure, I would love to. What do I do to get it submitted to your journal?

You don't have to do anything. I'll just add the thumbnail myself.

I am totally obsessed with mazes and labyrinths so I loved it!

P.S...although could you just mention in your comments that it is being entered for my contest. That would be most appreciated, thanks!

Amazing! I thought this was real!
So since this is a fraction of the actual labyrinth and it curves upwards on the right side... does it by any chance sprawl over hills? Coz that would be an awesome labyrinth. A few hundred hectares in size, covering mountains even!

I don't actually have the full geometry of the labyrinth modeled as it is mostly done using displacement mapping, but I do like your thought...That could be an interesting way to spend a week or so...

You're not alone

I like the atmosphere. But sorry to tell ya, this labyrinth sux, way too easy to beat

That is what you may think...this is about one tenth the total size...the end of this image is not even the middle of the labyrinth, I just rendered this section for the perspective of it.
