I struggled a bit to get started with this one but in the end it was the wonderful perspective of this photo that inspired me.

Finding source pictures that fit into that perspective...well, let's just say I truly considered starting over quite a few times. Luckily, atmospheric colour saved me in more than a few places.

When the castle was finally done to my satisfaction, the image still needed something, a focus point of some sort. Thus happened the dragon.

It's strange, my very first dragon took about a week to finish, and I'm still not completely satisfied with her. I made this one in less than a day, but I think his overall look is much more consistent. His face could use a bit more work, but overall, I'm pretty proud of him.

Animated Work in Progress.

I really love this, it looks like the type of fantasy castle you want to have by you're own.
it looks really alive and the dragon make it look even more fantasy.
Good work ;D

Beautiful piece. When I first saw the title, I thought this was fanart for the Gargolyes cartoon since the castle in the show is named the same.

The picture itself doesn't really have anything to do with the show, but the title was definitely inspired by it.
