You Shall Come No Further

Description

"HOLD, BEAST! You shall come no further!" shouted the woman on the high tower overlooking the edge between the fertile lands of the valley and the wastelands beyond. The huge dragon hovered at the edge of the tower, it's mighty wings blowing back the sorceress' hair and tunic like the wind from a summer storm.

"These lands are protected." the sorceress continued with a defiant scowl, the end of her staff flaring with light and power. "I am Taryn of the Watchful Song, and I am this land's defender. You are unwelcome here and the way is barred. Return to the wastes from whence you came or I assure you I will drive you from the skies. Take heed and begone. NOW!"

It's a very nice image, beautifully rendered.

It's rather derivative of the bridge scene between Gandalf and the balrog in the film LOTR1--Fellowship of the Ring. Especially the written blurb that accompanies the image. You might not have been aware of this, but surely someone could have told you, just as I am. That's okay, I guess, but it would be nice for you to honor your sources and influences.

'Course, this image also harks back to the "Killer Rabbit" scene at the bridge in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

They all ultimately come from Joseph Campbell's work, do they not? :)
