I havn't read the book so I'm going off the Inspiration descriptions. This is the bridge in the Second Chamber.

I've owned a Wacom Tablet for about 5 years and just now decided to try and get used to it. I've also never actually entered a competition here. So I decided why not enter a competition picture that I do while learning to use my Tablet!?

I havn't ever read the book though it sounds really interesting and I'm going to try as soon as I can, but I'm going off the Inspiration on the challenge page. It's going to be the bridge that's mentioned in the second chamber.

Kinda lining things out. Going to attempt to make the towers the main focal point soon, but figured I'd work on some of the other stuff first.

Nice start :thumbsup:


but sorry IMHO it looks too fantasy for me, try to add some modern elements to make it not look like a scene from Conan the Barbarian :D


Anyway good look and have alot of fun with your wacom, I`ll buy one in few days. :)

I was honestly thinking it was looking kinda anime/fantasy too haha, but I'm workin on it, I'm going to give the towers a kinda skyscraper reflective look and add some lights to the bridge next I think. That should push it into the modern/future setting heh. Don't know if i'll be able to get out of the anime/fantasy look though it's kinda all I'm used to doing. Thanks for the comment, Wacoms are really fun haha, wish I had started messing with it alot sooner. And good luck with yours when you get it.

Nice sketch :) but somehow it feels like it's missing a point of interest...something more dramatic...

[Nekomouse]

So far it's looking good!
The foreground worries me a little though. It feels like you forgot it or something... I dunno, I can't really put my finger on it.
Keep it up and good luck!

Your drawings are looking good, i never use my wacom tablet either (actually its not a wacom but similar)

I see youve not read it either, im also illustrating alexandria and part of the bridge.
