Made during Christmas holidays a couple of years ago. My friend gave me a CD, 'Paint the Sky with Stars' by Enya, as a present. I listened it through many times while drawing this.

This picture is not realistic. How could anyone get to the pub from that place. Next time please keep things more true to life. More effort needed, must try harder 4/10

:-) Maija Pietikäinen replies: "LOL! That's true. But hey, maybe they have a pub inside the castle... 12"

Nah, no-one who sees that castle will ever want to go to the pub again ... I think the inaccessibility adds a lot of mystery, hence beauty, to the castle. It's fun just to think about what magic spells/enchantments are needed to get inside ...

The picture is really great. I can just image the young king pointing to his architect: "Yup, that's where I want my castle!"

Reminds me a little of The Eyrie in A Song of Ice and Fire By George R.R. Martin. Very nice! (though I do think it needs a little shading in teh sky...)

Somehow, this road remided me both of the Road to the Mountain Kinddom in Assassin's Quest, just before they reach the stone dragons garden, and of a passage of The Sword of Shannara, when Shea slips on the scree I think (read this one a lng time ago).

Oh... Guess you're tired of hearing that it's beautiful?

Hmm. People shouldn't give CDs called "Paint the Sky with Stars" to people who actually could... 12

Well, it's a real fantastic castle. It's very high. Good job!

Wow, how long did this take you? Would have taken me 2 years!
