Mordor

This one came about shortly after I met Howard Davidson et al, at Iguanacon in Phoenix. I did it while sitting on Howard's living room floor, in fact. No special story, I just wanted to play with the mountain shapes.

I'm still quite pleased with the way the castle came out, and that windy road, as always, fills me with wonder and mystery.

This isn't "meant" to be Mordor, either. That seemed the obvious contrast from "Camelot."
