Love it

I love this it has so much texture in it and so much of a story to be told the gold parts of this axe need shine as well as other little details here and there some lighting and shadowing effects could really push some of those effects including some sparkle on the gold parts but anyways this was a nice job indeed you did here very well done and very well detailed so props to you on such a beautiful creation and story here

Hi, love this illustration, very inspiring!!! I was wondering what materials you used for it as i'm finding it quite hard to work out. Great work again and thoroughly deserving of the prize. :)

I would first want to congratulate you. I also have a question. Did you base this town off any real places? If so, which places? The reason for this is because I had like to make a graphic novel based on it, for fun of course since I'm too young to publish. Anyway, I would like to say that the lines in this piece are so precise to me, I thought this was a digital art piece at first! Beautiful piece!

Even with the sharp edge of a giant axe handle hovering over the roof life moves on huh. :) Feels a bit unsafe! Also feels like there'd be an interesting story behind this! But like the inhabitants in the picture, the stories of bygone times are forgotten, old realities become myth, and civilization rises around the remnants of old.. it's an intriguing piece that way, pompous and pleasant at the same time, the skeleton hand rising grand over the rooftops, in a way showing that the living rise over the dead; all that goes is reclaimed by the living, like the roots of a tree feeding on fargone ashes. Inspiring piece!

is that Jazza's axe?
