#1100 Ithilien
About This Aquascape
My goal was to recreate a cliffside visible from the inside of a cave. A mountainous landscape that could recall a canyon covered in vegetation, but seen outside of a dark and narrow place. The inspiration comes from my personal image of a fantasy place, the land of Ithilien, from the book The Lord of the Rings.
