Description

Hi everyone! This took about a week, mostly put into getting the atmosphere right. The gate and towers were modeled in Wings 3d, I will try to have them available soon. Rendered in Bryce with additional textures in photoshop. "The three vast doors of the Black Gate under their frowning arches were fast closed. Upon the battlement nothing could be seen. All was silent but watchful." -The Return of the King thanks for looking!

This is an awesome rendering,it looks like a movie set. I think it would be better if it were not tilting forward -it doesn't appear as strong as the same image with the first tower perpendicular to the ground plane.

Excellent as usual king friday. Only problem I can see is where the wall meets the ground. it doesn't look.. disturbed enough. Perhaps add a secondary terrain ?
