I love this. Dark pictures are always a favorite of mine, and it honestly looks exactly like a scene in the book I'm writing.

This is great Sorta reminds me of a realistic fairy tale- it's not cliche or anything- and in all good tales there must still be moments when the characters trudge through the night to get to the magical castle, right?

tojisuzuhara [2008-09-09 00:07:45 +0000 UTC]

We can count Shadow of the Colossus as a fairy tale. This is really pretty. It's interesting how they're so much higher than the castle. You so rarely see that in fantasy illustrations!

hakubaikou In reply to tojisuzuhara [2008-09-09 00:59:15 +0000 UTC]

Oh good.

I admit I do cliche themes a lot, but I try not to go overboard. You know how some fantasy pictures have just been done to death? Like The Old Wizard Coming Down a Path from a Hilltop Castle Behind Him pic. Or the Warrior Standing with a Brandished Sword and Warrior Chick Hanging On His Knee pic. Or... man, I could go on and on....

It's lovely. It may not be a specific fairy tale, but it definitely seems like something out of a fantasy.

I think you may have gotten me dragged into these 100 themes.
