Description
DragonsBreath Chasm.....
The barman looked at the four travellers. "So you want to hear about times gone by and places lost do you... planning a bit of plundering are we?"
"Well," he started, "far to the south of here, lies what was once a mighty fortified city. It was built along either side of a chasm high in the Southern Barrier Mountains. At certain times of the year, when the winds blew from the east and there was rain about, a rush of cloud would roar through the chasm and erupt out onto the Northsea plain like a dragons breath. Unsurprisingly, it was thus named DragonBreath Chasm."
"A bridge was put across the chasm, and it was said that any agreement struck in the dragons breath would last forever. Many people wed and strong alliances were forged upon that bridge for over a hundred years."
"But all that changed with the Night Wars. As the sounds of battle approached, the people from the Northsea plain fled, and so the food and trade on which the city depended for its survival dried up, and in the end, the mighty city was abandoned to the ages without a single sword being drawn in its defense."
"Now it is but an empty shell, outwardly intact but having been stripped and scoured by every adventurer looking for a fabled lost treasure that none have yet found."
The next series begins (I think).
Freebie things used - John Malis's adventurers backpack, Lyne's Donkey morph, and Luthbels bow thingy.

Amazing sense of scale and depth....Excellent render !!!!!!
they say every picture tells a story this tells all, what a great scene and a great story to come?.
Looking at this image and thinking what some say in various forums that Vue or Carrara or any the other programs are the best just proves to me its not the program but the person who does the art work. This image is one the best exapmples of what I said. You have made a masterpiece using bryce. Awesome work. :)
