Description
A kingdom, built into the canyon walls, gaurding the many bridges across the Rift.
I wanted to create a city that is based around these massive bridges, make it fortified but keep it "majestic" looking. I spent most of Tuesday making the buildings in Wings, yesterday I set up the scene and today It finished rendering and I spent a couple of hours in Postwork.
I made use of Photoshops blending tools to add the rocks around the base of the main bridge and to the right, and the clouds are from Zhann's "dramatic skies" pack.
Thanks for looking, thoughts and comments are very welcome!

THis is an incredible render m8. Excellent work.
This is excellent. Amazing textures.
This is really good. Great textures, the dust at the bottom, even the clouds are really good. Nice job.
superb! majestic indeed! excellent render!v
It DOES look majestic, great job.
Nothing short of unbelievable.You should'nt say you wanted to create.Say you did create LOL
Well done! It is nice to see such a well thought out and detailed piece..:)
Very cool work. Love the lighting and the mats look great. You did a heck of a job modeling this. Nice work!
The texturing is what stands out the most for me. So many bridges gives it an air of irreality that goes well with the architecture that also seem to hit towards both the past and futur. Nice fine edge between realism and fantastic art. I'm a bit distracted by the blurring at the bottom. Lovely work.
Beaut modelling and excellent texturing. It looks great.
I don't even know what to say, this is great!!!
Very nice texturing and modelling work. Very nice indeed.
Fantastic--this is amazing art.
