Half Finished Illustration of the Tower of Cirith Ungol in Mordor. In the foreground a black stony path is rim lit with a sickly green light. A miasma hovers in the chasm below. In the middle ground is a cliffside fortress accessible via stone bridge. so far only the top of the tower is lit with the same sickly green. Columns of smoke billow out of the tower. in the background over the Ethel Duath and plains of Gorgoroth, Orodruin churns out a sulphurous fume into the red sky. Gonna add some goblins and whatnot in the foreground eventually. On the right is the working palette. I am using the Sonny Ross Muppet Colour Theory for this one.
