I feel like this castle is a safe hidden place where one could easily find peace and illumination. It may feels desolate but for me this place is like a old monk monastery in Katmandou...

Thanks a lot, i used an ordinary pencil and charcoal, the original work has a bit more detail ans is less dark but i kinda like the darkness my scanner made [smiley]

Thanks again [smiley]

Thanks a lot. When it comes to original work, landscapes are my strong point. For the "human" drawing, i need a model, otherwise ...

Again thank you

This is beautiful. The shading is wonderful. It's a picture that gives the audience some imagination of what's inside the castle.

Again thank you! For me this place is where i'd go to find the truth of life or to find myself. A place where the ascension of the mountain is part of the journey...

Thanks! Me too...i'd like to feel the icy winds on my face as i stand in one of the turrets. Inside, there's a huge library with millions of book, the knowledge of all humanity..and a wine cellar [smiley] . I'd live there gladly...Thanks again...

This is really beautiful hun. You did it with charcoal huh? I love the black and white contrast. There's something Lord of the Ring-ish here indeed. I like this much. A fav for being so stand out and original. [smiley]

Thank you! For me, this place is more like a lost hidden 'cabin' [smiley] where i'd spend life in contemplation. But yeah it could a monster's castle too. Again i thank you.
