Done in colored pencil on ordinary drawing paper. Cinnabar is a city, very large, old, and because it lies on the only land route between two major continents, economically significant.

Lots of color and detail there! Try not to let him fall!

:-) Margaret R. Taylor replies: "Gee, thanks! She's a she, but you're right, it's hard to tell."

Ohh! Pretty good job with the perspective views! The colors are nice!

Definitely not the kind of place you want to be if you suffer from vertigo... Great work: you get a real sense of depth and, more pertinently, height

I think I like this one the best. I *hate* drawing backgrounds, especially buildings, so I've never even attempted anything like this. No pictures of your BBS namesake?

:-) Margaret R. Taylor replies: "You mean Killashandra Ree? No. There's two reasons for this. She's sci-fi, so I couldn't put her on this page anyway. And I don't even like the books about her very much, the name just sounded cool. Thanks for the comment. I don't like backgrounds very much either, but I do them sometimes."

Oh, beautiful Loveliest colors and such an attention to the details. But the best thing about the picture is this perfectly captured atmosphere of a very beginning of the day in an ancient city... Great job! 2
