Description Prints available here

A memorial waypost at the feet of the Taringdol. Such small posts as these on the Adaran-Illecran border are not uncommon. They're watched over by solitary Adaran rangers who tend to both the upkeep of the memorials as well as the great wall itself. Not many make journeys up to see them, 400 years not being long enough to come to terms with the grief. Most Adarans prefer to pay their respects at memorials closer to home... and further from the Taringdol.

Very very nice cleanup of the speedpaint version. I love the gingerbread-work in the windows.

Gotta read more about M'jec when I actually get a minute. This weekend was not bounteous in spare time. >_<

I figured something was wrong with me when I just kept going with the gingerbreading.

I should probably write up more about M'jec and post it then.

Oooh that is so cool! I loooove the windows... And the gentle warm glow inside really contrasts with the haze outside. The light shining through the clouds is almost as beautiful as the little building itself. *gazes longer*

Had I been any crazier, the lattices would have been more intricate. The steps were... erm... cheap? Huzzah efficiency! 8D Stand out apart or stand out in balance?

>:3 Ah, but then I'd have to get back to doing the comic for that.

DUDE! this turned out awesome! i love the roof and all the detail on the windows. the beacon and anchors on the spires are really well done too. the sky turned out looking almost like a photo. the clouds are really good and the sunlight has a really delicate feel. now i want to know whats going that they had to put the taringdol up in the first place. tell!

I questioned my sanity on the windows. Near photo sky? Ha, you're being way too generous, 'tis painterly at best <3<3<3 . . . should've used a reference for the sky T_T

Ah, I wondered what would become of this. Very slick piece- the central building design reminds me of some tropical flowers, with a central cone jutting from folded blue petals. I particularly like the entrance arch.

X3 I say skip the mountain memorials and hit up Kelim's Bones. You've got a city full of it, parts of it ruined, and plenty of arcane action goin'. The only thing you'd miss far as I'm concerned is the view and the exercise. Well, no, you'll get the exercise if you step into the Osteran Causeway side - you'll be running from dead critters what want your brains.
