Description
(BEST VIEWED FULL SIZE)
Aranée had been hunting for about a week in the northern part of the Aeritan Forest, near the Packran Mountains. This was a bit north of her usual territory, but she thought she knew this area well enough - until now. She had been tracking a very large buck for nearly two days when she happened to look up - and there it was: A monstrous abandoned fortress set far above the sheer mountain face.
Something about the crumbling edifice resonated deeply within her, and she found herself shaking. She immediately began a new hunt, far more important than any mountain buck. She had to find a way through the thick brush and up the steep mountain. A fire now burned within her - she had to get into that fortress.

Yes please continue. Love it. Hugs
Beautiful work.
So very glad to see you post once more Larry, this is a great setup scene with a captivating story
Nicely put together!
excellent :-) and you are most welcome :-)
Oh, very nicely done, and an exciting story to boot. I hope you do post more, since I'm dead curious what awaits the girl inside the fortress...and why she's so drawn there. NetWorthy, I am amazed and thrilled at your many comments - kind ones too! - in my gallery, you even checked out my very first render. :-) thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I love browsing an entire gallery sometimes, because it's fun to watch how an artist's developed (that's how I found my good friend WarpedHalo) so it's so cool that you did the same with mine. grin Take care!
