The Land of Fantasies by FadingGlory

Drawn to "Élan" by Factor Eight

I decided to enter #wc285 because I love the whole concept of floating islands, but after seeing all the other (incredible) entries, I had to step up my game and try a method of painting completely foreign to me. This was a major challenge to create with so little time and experience, but I am satisfied with the overall result.
I think this it the best 3D painting I have made yet.

Enjoy!

Woah, a floating city? It looks amazing, I love how you do clouds and scenery, and the dragons are a nice touch. X)

I wish I could check out the 3D, but alas I have a 2DS. XD

Re: Also that sounds like an amazing idea for her environment! You can come up with that and draw it, I don't think I could pull it off (Also busy with DT's and Requests at the moment! xD)

you are quite good at realism yourself! I don't think there is any limit on how many contest entries you do

Re: Yeah, I'm honestly kinda unhappy about having them on the same day, but I wanted to make sure everyone could attend. c:
It's about several kingdoms that are on the brink of war because of mysterious shadow monsters that are appearing everywhere. Our little group of shapeshifters and summoners are trying to figure things out and stop the source. x3

Thanks for the tip! I see a lot of people draw them that way, like Pac-man faces... I ought to give it a go.
