There is this extraordinary sea shell, called Venus Comb. And there is the horrible tower of Barad Dur, where Sauron's eye lives.
These two, inspired me to sketch what you see here. It is the Venus Comb Tower. An enormous building, with an almost never-ending spiral staircase that leads one straight to the clouds. It's my concept of babel. The sea shell gave me the form (spiral, thorns, long cone, wild textures) and Barad Dur gave me the atmosphere and mood.
It looks really good. And I couldn't help but notice your handwriting, which is just beautiful! haha.. I love the old feeling you gave this pieces with the paper, your drawing style and the cursive text. I find it charming. I actually imagine this in a frame, hanging on my wall somewhere. (:
Thank you! I really appreciate your words! However, to be honest, I used a font called "jey" for the text and a downloaded texture for the old book look..
