The Door To The Hidden City

"Deep within the snow-covered mountains of the east, lies a forest of myth. Veiled by this forest, is a civilization spoken of in legend and lore. Nothing is known about these people, or their hidden city. Few who entered the forest in search of the hidden city ever returned. Those who did return, spoke of mysterious riders and strange structures. It’s said that only one person has ever been able to find the door to the city. Guarded by an axeman of stature and patrolling archers, the small, ornate door nestled within a mountain side appears to be the only thing we’ll ever know about these hidden people. Perhaps one day, a brave and shrewd individual will find their way into the hidden city and return, but until that day comes, it will be known only in myth and legend.”

 

I had fun with this one. The initial inspiration for this model was the door to Moria from "Lord of the Rings" and Mr. Tumnus's house From "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". I am really pleased with how the texturing and the composition of the model turned out. This is one of the few models that I’ve started without having a specific purpose in mind, which made the build process much more relaxing and free flowing. Overall, I’m very happy with the build and I enjoyed getting to work on it.

 

Enjoy!
