The fortress of Blackbones

[- JO -]

Hi !

As I said in another post, I'm more or less stuck on a horizontal position because of my back... So, fortunately, I can still draw on my iPad...
Here's the fortress of Blackbones, guarding the passage of the Blackbone river... For now, it's only the lines, but I've started to add colors... which is not easy on Procreate, because, for example, I can't do color gradients (?), it's all by hand and I'm still learning to use that app...

I'm all open for critics and comments !

You slipped this in under the radar, Jo!

I completely missed it before ChickPea commented on it, but now I know its here I'll keep watching.

And I also agree with ChickPea - this looks like its going to be a good one

Thanks Mouse ! The difficult part will be the colors, as I don't have access to Photoshop for now... I'll try to make something beautiful !!!

[Mouse]

Its not the software that dreams and creates the colours, Jo, but you yourself, so I have every confidence it will look beautiful in the end

That is very promising !

This perspective works so well and the line art is already great. Somehow, my brain fails to recognize those objects on the slope bellow the castle; I presume they are rocks, but I constantly see giant mussels or even worms crawling to devour everyone in the... ok, I've got carried away. To be constructive: if those are the rocks, perhaps they could rest with their lower side on the material of the slope, or even be partially buried bellow it; if those are the giant worms, well... all I can do is wish luck to those poor people inside the castle

I wish I had thought about giant worms... But it's rock... It should be more obvious with colors and shadows (at least I hope... Otherwise, It can be giant worms... if it looks more like giants worms ! )
