Castle on the Mountain



A concept drawing of a fantasy world. My friends and I went camping in Maine this summer at the foot of Mt. Katahdin, and this is loosely based on the view we had from our campsite. Also inspired by the work of Hiroshi Yoshida. That guy is awesome.

That castle at the top of the mountain must be huge. Almost the size of an entire city. It was built by an immortal hermit because he had nothing better to do for a couple thousand years. Then people from the foot of the mountain started moving up the mountain to be closer to this amazing castle that seemed to be springing up on its own, but their presence there drove the immortal man away. He only wanted to toil in solitude. No one lives there anymore, because it is so difficult to get water up there.
