Description This was a piece that came to me when I saw the new Myst contest, and worked on all night. ::grin: Create an Age...

[link]

--

So this is the Thirteenth Age, a place that has been devoid of people so long that hardly any overt signs of their cities are left. the rare artifacts that remain are mostly buried in the ground, and those secrets which remain are in hidden silos within the cliffs...

...which are fabricated constructions, not natural. They were created as fortresses, containing at one time the weaponry and treasures of the realm. Now...no one knows what might be within, hundreds of years after the last inhabitant died as the weather became worse and worse.

There is only one way in.

---

It was done with Photoshop 5.5, which I do nearly all of my pictures. I love Photoshop! C:

This one was really difficult to do for me, working with perspective as I did. That's always difficult for me, but I like doing it. If I manage to make a better picture before the deadline, I will submit that one instead. but for now, I am fairly pleased with this one.

This looks great, I really like the cliffs. I'd really love to see an Age like this one in the games, especially with the thunderstorms

I love it! but since your wishing I'd criticize this :
I think it's a little crowded composition: a little more sky woulda helped.
Also, the color isn't all that pretty, some other hues woulda helped.
Sowwy, it's still very good. have a nice day ^^

Hey thanks for the comments! True, it's a bit crowded, the perspective doesn't help. but the color's not supposed to be pretty hehe. Thanks a lot!
