Castle Shadowmar, off the dark coast of the Lunacian Sea....said to be defended not only by the deadly, jagged rocks and wild waves that surround the island, but also by dark forces of magic that inhabit within.....

*note: I edited a few minor things on this in the print version to make it perfect. There's nothing like making it your desktop for a few weeks to see all the mistakes!*

I started this piece as the result of playing with a tutorial here: [link]

This is a digital matte painting, and is mostly digitally painted with some photos for added texture and reference.
I would like to thank the following deviants for providing such wonderful stock!

water textures and reference from: :iconjezhawk-stock: and :iconnajustock:
Photos used directly that were painted on and maniped:
castle: Mini_Castle :iconvelcrolobo:
knight body and basic pose (and armor painting reference): Armour_Pack____Greatest_Hits :iconcobweb-stock:
face and head of the Knight: The_New_Samurai :iconroyak:

If you would like a desktop wallpaper of it, go here: [link]

I hope you like it!! :D

very well done - I'd like to see some reflection of the castle in the water, but it is really really well done
