About this image

This dramatic high fantasy concept art features a lone hooded figure on a broken crumbling precipice, looking out at a grand gothic sky castle glowing with golden light at the center of a ring-shaped floating city.

I freely admit my phobia! I will wait for @legion to share his traveller's tales. 🙂
@legion · Oct 23, 2026
Which would you prefer: going to these places or to my Sector 4?
@panos · Oct 23, 2026
this is my dilemma, also, my friend!😀
@charlypalermo · Oct 23, 2026
Yes! That was the one I was going to send, but then I had Eddie (from Iron Maiden) and I couldn't not send him even though I knew he didn't stand a chance haha

Bueno... no se si yo querria ir a una ciudad de un super esqueleto con un corazon colgando jajaja, pero otros puede ser que sean mas llamativos para visitar

Me gustan los superesqueletos con el corazon, pero tio,todos esos lugares tuyos molaría verlos,yo entendí el reto como lugares a los que nadie querría ir...
