one of the most intensely details paintings I've done digitally so far. I'm really trying to branch out and do new things, and try to improve on my bgs as well.

I guess this could be considered an early preview of the architecture of Valgard, the main city in the comic I'm working on featuring Nita the gryphon and Cyrus, seen here. It's a city of mages nestled at the edge of a massive canyon with tall spires around a central tower. There is a gryphon aviary and takeoff/landing strip towards the rear half of the city, near the main tower, surrounded by the main city with a large market in the center.

I'm planning to work on some concept sketches of more characters and locations next.
