More from HowStrange
Not gonna lie, the soundtrack to Kung Fu Panda, Howl's Moving Castle, and Avatar: The Last Air bender (the show of course, not that godawful movie) helped inspire this. As well as The Name of the Wind and the Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. (Great books - do check them out!)
I... Have wanted to capture this setting for years and years and this is the first time that I've felt confedant enough with my perspective drawing to attempt to. Children - Boys and Girls, Toys and Squirrels - this is the Kingdom of the Old Gods, home to Dalheen and Orikuyehn. It's one of the two major kingdoms that sit on the ancient mountains. The southern mountains of Set hold the Kingdom of the Old Gods at their feet - and the mountains of Rise hold the Kingdom of the New Gods at their peaks.
This is just one of the many streets within the kingdom and (though it may be a lofty goal) i hope to illustrate more of them - as well as more of the Kingdom of the New Gods.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i spent more time on this than i should have xD
Art and Concepts belong to me!

Thank you kindly! ^^ This is pretty much the first time i've attempted something of this nature, so it's great to hear it's gone over well!
Haa - you better believe i do! XD
YESSSS! So many people I talk to haven't even heard of it but it has GOT to be one of my favorite books out there! I swear, i learned more from writing just by reading that book than ANYWHERE else! I could go on and on and on and on about the series like a ridiculous fan girl xD Lemme guess - you're at the University part? XD it gets kinda dry when he first gets there but, surprisingly, it does pick up! though, if for nothing else, I'd suggest finishing the first book so you can get to the second. There are a few parts where it's a bit dry, just as in the first one, but the world is expanded on even more, Kvothe's personality is explored so much more.... There's just so much more, and it's just so brilliant!
And, as an added bonus - on May 1st 2013, book three, The Doors of Stone is coming out~! 8D

XD because that's exaaaaaaaaaaactly where i put it down as well. It actually took me 3 years to finish it, because i would keep restarting it, get stuck at the university, and get bored out of my skull xD but it's well worth it when you have the time - but of course who in this world has time to read any more? XD
Do pick it up when you get the chance~ it's well worth it, and so is the sequel! i read the second book in, maybe, two days xDD and i'm also mega slow at reading.
