This is another Photoshopped pencil drawing. It's an illustration from a book I'm about a third of the way into writing called "The Red Boots." The castle appears and disappears over the centuries. Each time it appears, a "Lady in Red Boots" arrives to defeat the evil that lives in it. I've really got to keep writing it...I want to know how the story ends!!

At once intricate and simple. Nice choice of colours, making it solid yet with a hint of etherial. Your story sounds interesting. Would be nice to read with illustrations like this one, for sure.

Very Nice 2
Reminds me of Minas Terith in LOTR, very nicely done.
I was thinking of drawing one for my own story, wouldn’t even get close to that one though2

This is a really interesting castle design, it almost seemes to get thicker towards the top rather than thinner. Very nice work.
