Hey everyone,

Here is my entry for the Gnomon Workshop "lonely outpost" challenge. It started out as a matte painting but turned into more of a regualr painiting.I have been working on it non stop since the challenge was announced and I think this is my best work so far so I am happy.

The Idea is that this is a lighthouse from another world. And is over run by a vulture like creature that are scavengers feeding off any life they can find.
I think a light house is a great example of a lonely outpost. Most lighthouses are run by one person who is usually alone and 100's of miles away from anyone else and are known to either go insane or kill themselves. So I wanted a very dark creepy atmosphere full of odd shapes and color. A place that if you had to go there and work, you would feel like not even god would be with you.

Cheers!
