The Approach to Lionskeep

edit, Jun 2013: Came back and re-worked this piece after the fortress popped up in the storyboards for a new chapter I'm working on. Still one of my favorite pieces; I just brought the character models up to date and added a little light and atmosphere (download if you want the big version). Looking forward to sharing a big chunk of Echo's story soon!

"You can approach Lionskeep by land, or even by sea, through the harbor at the base of the rock pillar. But nothing reveals its glory like a descent from above; a glimmering jewel perched atop Laaki falls. Part fortress, part palace, Lionskeep harbors the worlds most extensive library, making it a destination for scholars and philosophers from lands near and far. Its as safe a place as any in this world, Echo, and your keen mind will find many kindred spirits there."

Another step towards developing my creator-owned book, title still pending. You can see Echo up close here, along with her companion Hiro: [link]. More from this project coming as I get them finished; I'm taking my time on this one, and enjoying the process very much. Thanks for looking, and hit download if you want to savor the details.

edit: opened up the space a bit by getting rid of the nearest eagle head.

edit 2: Hiro comes to join the fun.

edit 3: ! Very appreciative and humbled by the DD, and so glad that its for a piece with my own characters and story (still very much in the works at this point). Thank you very much to and , and to all of the very encouraging comments and faves. I'm terrible at responding to comments anyway, and my backlog just got a bit larger ( ), but I really do appreciate people taking the time to write. Thanks!
