"A storm is approching the nordic gate, which is known all over the land for the golden palace of the Leo-King and the shining buldings and alleys of the city. Maybe this storm it is the end of a long golden era, or maybe it is a new beginning it's habitants..."

Just glancing over your gallery, this is one of your better pieces for chromatic lighting. Wonderful work. =)

I am a great fan of the lord of the rings and other world of fantasy, and this image is very fantastic.

Err, why is it called the "Nordic" gate when the actual architecture looks Arabian?

The title does not concern the culture, but the place where this city could be. In my imagination somewhere in the nord :)

If you talk about a nordic region, you think about Scandinavia, don't you? This is actually what I meant.
I just pointed out that having such domes and whatnot is Arabian architecture.. Unless I am mistaken, in which case i am sorry. (about the arabian thing, not the nordic one).

Unless you are thinking about the far north regions, northpole and whatnot. Looks far too warm for that tho.

Hm no, as I said, its not concerning the culture and the architecture. I know that the buildings are hold in a venecian style which was very influcend by arabic architecture. What I mean with the title is: When I am imagine a whole world, this city would be in the nord of this map. Somewhere cold and dark. The buildings contrast the surroundings very much.

Yet you never actually pointed out that you were going for a fantasy genre. XD
Looking at the picture, it's oozing with realism. It can't get more realistic than that.

Anyhow, if it is a fantasy picture then I'm good. Could be useful to write that in the authors comment though. :iconimhappyplz:

Hm you're right, thanks for your comment! On other plattforms I wrote some sentence about the story, but its in german. Here the google-translation (sorry I am too lazy now to translate it properly ;) "Dark clouds are gathering ominously over the North Gate, which bears a centuries-long history with them. The Golden Palace of the Lion King with its translucent buildings and streets that were heated as much by the sun, seem now to be swallowed by the fog. Does that cool and dark storm an entire civilization to ruin, or heralds the white rain a new beginning?"
