Description
Ok, I suck at painting landscapes, but being actually the first attempt at doing so digitally, it's not thaaaaaat bad. With eternal practice I may achieve something... Someday.Rhuidean, the only city in the Aiel Waste, built by the Jenn Aiel. Never finished, unfortunately. This is how I imagine it, built of crystal/glass, with domes and spires and towers, all shiny in the middle of that weird mist/fog/thing.
I was inspired by a picture I took during my vacations in the Altiplane, with the majestic Andes behind. I couldn't stop thinking "IT'S THE SPINE OF THE WOOOOOOORLD!!!" xDDD
I need to practice scenery... I know this kinda sucks but I'll scrap it later xDD

It really was my first attempt at painting a digital landscape and a part of me it's like "WHOAAAAA I LOVE IT!" and another looks like "=___=UU Keep trying, PLEASE!"
I realized that landscapes are kinda fun though *O*

I'd go with the "WHOAAAAA I LOVE IT!" part, lol. It has a really mystical, fantastic kind of feel! It really is what I'd imagine Rhuidean would look like in the distance!
