Great perspective and an original design. Curious how it will develop.
That's exactly it. The mountain is living and evil (in its way). So I find it fitting to do it with reddish/rusty color for its whole being - after all there is iron both in blood and in rock.Originally Posted by jshoer
Or just do bloodred rocks for the base layer of the mountains. It's Tolkien.
Now it stopped being a sketch and deserves to be called WIP.
At this stage I focus on defining the ridges, slopes, orientations and the main important interfaces.

Wow, this is a work of art! Beautiful so far.
At last I succeeded to squeeze a few hours to advance this work.
Basically finished al surfaces, their orientation and the color balance (especially the depth effect).
Also improved the red-grey transition, added a first test of the waterfall and tested a few big boulders (result is that with a mouse it is really a chore).
What's left are mostly man made or rather dwarf made elements (tower, gate, Durin's stone), some details and the lake.
I hope to find a little time in 2 or 3 days again.

I's looking good, Deadshade. I love the work on the lights & shadows. Looking forward to see the next steps!
I'm loving those sharp, angular peaks and ridges. They're so well done.

I'd give my left leg to be able to do shaded relief like this. Keep going, it's shaping up beautifully.
As I'm well aware of the amount of work to paint something like this is I must say I'm very impressed.
Wow, what everyone else said, and I love the waterfall!!
This is looking absolutely gorgeous Deadshade! You rmountains are fantastic and the colours on Barazinbar are perfect. I can't wait to see it completed.
