bravo attempt dude~nice ~i like the far view of this piece~however~i seem to get the feelin tat lotsa textures were used for tis piece~the mountains look kinda funny shaped,esp in the middle ground~and at e left side there appears to be smudgy,very apparent becos of the detailed other parts~and i dun understand the blackness at the left side,it is like a hole,or is fog?if so,it needs to be lighter~the main focus,the middle mountain is very detailed,but then the bridges and mill spoils it, for the structure can be improved and the lack of detail subtracts the overall focus~but seriously,the textures are too obvious~keep it up!~

WOW! Cool... very LOTR...lol... i feel the water coming out like that is a bit funny leh... if u want it to appear magically from nowhere, i think u should fade it off a little at the top, or else it will look a little cut-out.. and the droplets of water from the splash at the bottom a bit too big.. as for those 2 pple.. (they are pple i suppose).. the light that falls on them needs a bit of tweaking

I just had another good look, and I don't know if you meant this to be the case but if you look at the rocks at the bottom of the main tower, it looks like a monsterhand creeping up, reaching for the people at the toop. Spooky.

Ahh well i didnt mean it that way, i meant for it to be something like a nest for the main building, protecting and at the same time intimidating trespassers with its awkward form

It's Eeeeexcellent.
As far as some of the other comments are concerned; the detail is perfect, you don't have to have the water come from anywhere, its fantasy. They should use their imaginations a bit more.
It's a fantastic piece.
