Hi. This is my first post and will hopefully work - not too hot on this web malarkey. Below there should hopefully be a nice picture of a house or maybe a link to one...

It's a concept drawing for a game set in a fairytale medieval world where everything is slightly twisted and distorted - pen and marker sketch, then photoshop:

Comments welcome.... :rolleyes:

the house look kind of distorted, but I guess for a twisted kind of game, it will fit in perfectly. nice mono colouring U got there.

cool, I like this kind of stuff. I'd like to see some other artwork in these genre, any suggestions or references you may have used?

It's not from any reference directly as I tend to sketch then rework later from reference material (this being the original sketch) - I'm quite into medieval and tudor architecture and so take some styling cues from there along with a fair few nods to Belle's house from Beauty and the Beast too... I like the idea of buildings that hold together by their very age despite looking structurally unsound from the outside.

I've got a fair few other designs which I'll post up at some point when I get round to it...

i really like the feel. the almost sepia tone effect is nice. the little extra structure at the very top on the stilts seems to be defying the laws of perspective though. may want to double check that one.
