Description I think this fits under fan art (?) I like how this sketch turned out. I dont think you can really see much of it here, but i tried to see how small and detailed i could make each building (the whole paper is A5), staircase, window etc. Based on the city in J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion".

Waaah, that is just adorable! *v*
I cannot imagine how much patience one should have to draw something as detailed as it is! And all those tiny fairy-talish buildings look so cute all together!~

PippinIncarnate [2008-07-27 18:25:32 +0000 UTC]

Very nice! I have to say that it reminds me a bit too much of Minas Tirith, but then again, I'm not as much of a silmarillion scholar as I should be, so I'm really in no place to be speaking of the proper way for gondolin to look But I think the likeness I see is just because the bridge reinds me a lot of Alan Lee's Cincprt for Rath Dinen in the movies

anyway, very awesome. it has an oldschool fantasy illuration feel that you just don't see too much of anymore. aaaaand, I have to agree with the masses; the bridge is awesome.

Simanion In reply to PippinIncarnate [2008-07-28 03:59:08 +0000 UTC]

Thankyou! Minas Tirith eh? I guess it does have a tower not unlike Ecthelion, and I know what you mean about the bridge. I wish I could do Minas Tirith properly..one day. I based the structure of the city off this legendary picture if you've ever seen it: [link] that's only half, the other half has a bridge and another small section. Glad you like it! and cheers for the fave

haha, thanks I guess they dont have much of a defence either, unless those gates were made of mythril or something. Maybe they were.
