Hello,
My brother is a short story writer.
Could we use this artwork on a web-page, next to one of his stories?
Full credit will be given and a link back to the original artwork.

I'm afraid not. The rights belong to Wizards.

Gorgeous! The architecture is beautiful on its own, but the two giant angel statues make it spectacular. The water is wonderfully painted as well, with great use of colour. I really love everything in this painting, it is so beautiful. Congrats on the DD!

.. simply.. wow... it looks awesome!!
really cool :3
... though i'm kinda wondering if the perspective is completely right... the sealevel looks a little strange to me like... uhm... a little bent... is that wanted to achive the effect of a panorama?

You're absolutely right. It's good that you picked up on it. In some areas (like the bridge especially) it follows a path closer to curvilinear perspective rather than linear. The horizon is also slightly arced, and the buildings have a vanishing point tighter than it would naturally be.
I really enjoy warping the perspective, but it more often than not it just makes things look awkward and BAD! But when it does work I think it enhances the effect of size and depth.

heh, so it really wasn't only my vision being off *glad about that*
well, when warping one sure needs a lot of practise i think - and it gives a cool effect nevertheless - just when looking closer this piece looks a little off.
I haven't tried it yet... >.>

It makes a good excuse for when I'm too bored to lay out the perspective properly too
"What.. it's off? Oh no, no, no. I'm not lazy, you see, it's SUPPOSED to be like that."

lol xD I'd rather excuse it with "what... it's off? aaah.... you see I'm still working on it!"

I really enjoy the angle that this has been drawn in. The water looks really nice and I like the statues.

Haha, that actually makes me very happy to hear. Originally I was asked to create some sort of Greco-Roman Atlantis on the water. Thanks!

Wow, this is simply amazing! The details, the scale of it all... Of course, the amazing statues and the tilt of horizon turn this into one great, harmonious piece of art! Amazing work!
