Description
Finally done with this concept, and it is now 3:00 AM.
Enjoyed working on it so much I lost track of time. There is a bit more I could do but I need to move on to making it in 3D. Let me know what you think! 
Photoshop CS4
Update: I have a progress thread for this scene on Polycount, where you can see the steps I went through to make this concept art as well as the new work I am doing to create the scene as a real-time 3D environment. Check it out here: [link]

It looks good. Somehow, it remindes me of LOTR.
The colouring is nice, I could totally imagine that I would stand there, and look around me and see the nature everywhere. Great job

Ah cool, LotR has some really epic architecture and that's definitely the kind of scale I was going for. Thank you!

The buildings look so real... The stone really seems to have many years old...

Ah good, I've gotten crits before that my ruins didn't look very ruined or old on some art, so I'm glad that is coming across well here. Thank you!
