Description Night Land 5: Building the lesser Redoubt

illustration for EMBRACE THE NIGHT, a story which will be published on the Night Land site next year.

A group of dissidents, led by Rabath, leaves the Redoubt and constructs a new pyramid on a dry sea bed.
A giant mobile generator is starting to tap the earth current to erect the Air Clog, the energy barrier surrounding the Lesser Redoubt.

The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson is a very strange novel. It is the end of time, long after the sun has gone out. The last humans live in a gigantic pyramid, the Redoubt, assaulted by monsters that roam the eternal night. Each level of the redoubt has its own culture.

The original novel is quite fascinating but almost unreadable. Other writers have written stories with the same background while artist are painting the Night Land. You find the Night Land site at [link]
Think of the Night Land as a kind of Cthulhu Mythos, inspiring modern writers and artists.

Lin Carter, when he was the editor of Ballantine Paperbacks' fantasy dept., admitted that the normal policy of giving the text as the author originally wrote it, was deviated from here.

The excesses were trimmed away carefully to make the story readable.

I normally tire of sooooo much digital art, esp fractal
(some of which can be awesome) but this piece stopped
me. Composition, technique, very inventive blustery sky
and monochromatic effect make is all super!!!
Nice going!!
