Description
"Rand entered the chamber slowly, walking among the great polished stone columns he remembered from his dreams. Silence filled the shadows, yet something called to him. And something flashed ahead, a momentary light throwing back shadow, a beacon. He stepped out beneath a great dome, and saw what he sought. Callandor, hanging hilt down in midair, waiting for no hand but that of the Dragon Reborn. As it revolved, it broke what little light there was into splinters, and now and then it flared as if with a light of its own. Calling him. Waiting for him."
-Passage from -The Dragon Reborn- by Charles Jordan
This one almost killed me. In this rendering of the heart of the fortress of the Stone, there are 90 columns and bootlean arches and that was a nightmare to align. It's all Vue, no postwork, save a picture resize, crop and slight breast reduction for Rand because he looked as if he needed a c-cup bra in the final render. ;)
Credits: Michael character, Wonder Wedge hair, Tunic pack, Mystic Robe, boots from DAZ. The columns are Shape Magic ones from Renderosity Free Stuff.
Thanks for taking a peek!

So, what are they feeding you in France? It appears you are devouring croissants heaped with mountains of creativity, topped off with a heavy dose of talent. A banquet of succulent, satisfying images in your gallery, from story to visualization. Can you tell it's almost dinnertime in California?.:o) CC
