Tag As FavoriteComment		Done with mechanical pencil. Possibly a Dwarven stronghold set in a mountainous spring scene. This is my first landscape scene... ever.

Again, it's very good. I feel like I've been there before. It looks so real. (But I think it's a little bit too big) I know that there are many details, but it's hard to see the whole thing...

I'd say that for a first attempt at landscaping, you show enormous potential. The detail on the buildings and the mountains offsets the slight blurred aspects very nicely. I, too, would like to see a smaller version of this to capture all the detail at once, and see how it all fits together. Overall, an excellent job. Keep it up!

:-) Aaron B. Foote replies: "Sorry for the long wait, I have *finally* resized this pic to get the whole feel of it, breathe it all in, I really like this piece (even better in it's original where it isn't shrunken to ridiculous measurements). *grumbles groans*"

I love the detail. But I agree with the above comments it's too big. The shading is great. Very nice work.

This is very good! I can't stand doing landscapes, so it's amazing for me to see one so caringly portrayed. Keep it up!

O_o, I like it! Really good for a first landscape. Did you use a picture for a reference?

that's great for a first attempt. I have an appalling lack of patience for background so my pieces tend to be more symbolic. I wouldn't be surprised at finding this piece illustrating a book. great work.

Awesome job! Beautiful landscape; you've really captured the rocky, mountainy feeling.
