SciFi and Fantasy Art Ominous Night by Paul Bielaczyc

Tag As FavoriteComment		Hidden away from the world of men, an Ominous Night shrouds the dark towers and massive walls of this ancient castle. Overlooking the still depths of a silent lake, the castle and its inhabitants await those foolish enough to enter, and fear those destined to confront the castle’s evil. This piece has its origins in another piece of mine, which served as an excellent starting point, but lacked the refinement that I achieved with this work. Reminiscent of the foreboding architecture from a popular video game series, the darkness emanating from the castle has such reach, that its evil presence is even reflected in the very face of the moon.

I love how the architecture is so exotic and fantastical yet at the same time it could actually work. Nice job.

You stole that from castlevania. Thats the castle from symphony of the night game.

I didn't steal it from anything, I used concept art from multiple sources included Castlevania: Symphony of the Night to help me realize this piece. Just like I used Final Fantasy as a basis for my Penultimate Fantasy piece and Harry Potter for my Wizard's Academy piece. I use many illustrations, movie stills, photographs, etc. for my reference models.
