Description
Hi everyone--
Completed this yesterday after a couple afternoons of work - my entry for the Bryce April challenge.
It is my interpretation of the hidden city of Gondolin from Tolkien's "The Silmarillion"
Mainly bryce with some textures (and the flags) and color correction in photoshop, the buildings are a combination of Wings3d and Bryce- - The front gate has lillys in the front, maybe a small pond in front of the door, because I wanted it to seem evlish and "magical".
thanks!

Breathtaking work!!!
Just by chance I just finished re-reading The Silmarillion. Last Monday I had wondered how Gondolin would would look as a Bryce render. Great image. The texture and architecture is most appropriate. Do you have a larger view by any chance? Excellent stuff.
Nice !
Very nice picture and architecture indeed!!!Congrats.---Kostas.
Great sensation with you textures. Very good work I like the stone effect you made.
AS usual, lovely work Woodhurst
You are clearly the best Tolkien Bryce artist out there, I salute you!!! V
I thought about making Gondolin in Bryce once but i didn't think i could make it look as majestic as it deserves. You though, you pulled it of perfectly! Magical! Kasia
Great artwork !!
The postwork and the textures really make these images a must see. Another good one. Have you ever thought of making a fictitious travel guide to middle earth (with illustrations)?
WOW IMAGE!
Awesome work again Jordan, I haven't read that book yet but you make me wanna find a copy and read it.
amazing modelling and texturing!
