Forgotten City

A place I dream of often.
~~
Where even time now slumbers within the lull of shadow and song of light, an old place still lingers. Its tales are forgotten by the realms of men, but he who finds its secret paths will find soon its ageless gift.
Take the bridge beyond the waterfall to stand upon a flet of soft hewn stone and look upon this realm. Forsaken by our kind for long has our belief in such places been buried within a cold hard earth, harsh and unforgiving.
Hear the song within this place and let the sweet scent of meadow green wipe yon tears away. Let your soul be nude where no pain can be. It is within your heart, beyond the clouds of fog and black seas of doubt. Where you can still see the white towers of hope, their arches reaching with tender fingers to the newborn sun. Here, far from the hissing snakes of our world's treachory, where the child within still slumbers in the swattle of innocence.
...Will you walk with me?
***Sidenote: I won't upload anything else like this to FA, as I suppose its not really fitting here ;). But this is a side of my work folks don't often see so I thought I would share. *bows*

i live how the balcony things look like ships =3
If you've ever played FFX then you'll know what i'm on about but it really reminds me of Guadosalam but just on a bigger scale. It just has that ornate/organic feel to it, like it wasn't created or carved by man.
And don't stop uploading this sort of art to FA! It's good work! =3
And thank you kindly for the wonderful words :).
..and yes I will walk with you. ;P
Balaa, I will not deny... your art scares me. @_@ -hooks you up to a machine and sucks out an ounce of your talent-
Bwaaa-haa-haa-ha! Balaa talent! >:} I can make money with this...
Who said you didn't fit here? ;>
"off topic" stuff is okay, as long as it doesnt' get out of control on here. A couple of these here and there aren't so bad (and especially when they're done so well!).
And if you're trying to keep it on the Low, you could always post "off topic" things in your Sketches area... ^.^
And it's nice to see the landscape/scenery pics from you too. Fantastic. :D
By the way, where did you get the knotwork border? That's not hand-drawn, is it?
Beautiful work regardless!
thankyou so much for sharing.
...words fail me. Yet again.

nice job
You won't post more? Is there perhaps somewhere that you do post your other work like this?
it's like the stones there could tell wonderfull and secret stories.
Thank you so much for sharing
I know the feeling of ..seeing a place in your mind that you can't grap
I wonder I f I could give you a ruff draft of a little Space Ship and do something with it..$$
*Nods to EosFoxx's comment*
A feeling with which I'm all too intimately familiar.
And yes, I'd walk with you for a while. :]

I'd love to see your rendition of a colored version of this piece. I'd imagine it to beautiful ;)
