A series I am working on to build the city before I start drawing the fall of Gondolin.

Annoyed artist here: my previous post got taken down. I think the mod thinks this is a photo? This is an oil painting I completed a few years ago. I used reference photos I took from a trip to Milford Sound in NZ to help me paint an original landscape. Probably somewhere in the foothills of Caradras, near Moria. Or Gap of Rohan? Now I can escape into Middle Earth any time I want in my own living room 😀 My first landscape painting. But if you spy around you might notice something only LOTR would appreciate.

NOT Ai I can't post my process video in here but I recorded the whole thing, I'm only saying this because it was removed without warning or a message, this ai policing is getting out of hand, it's just as damaging as the ai itself.

A sketch of Berens death by me.
