Love this pic mate!
That gargoyle sitting on the stone arch looks a lot like how I picture Bartimaeus from the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud, when he´s in his gargoyle form...
beautiful 
Im listening to celtic music, and it brings this to life.

This is one of the most beautiful works I have seen in a bit. You have perfectly captured the mystic and nature atmosphere with those lovely details.
Thank you!
You've created an amazing atmosphere in this work. I just love it!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
This ... is the single most amazing thing I have seen in a very, very very very very long time ...
I feel like I could walk into it and lose myself and never come back again ... (* o ,*)
... wow ...
just wow...
I'd say more but this is just too amazing to describe with words ...

Wow, it's comments like this that make all the hard working creating a painting worth it. Thank you!
Aww, my pleasure!! 
How wonderfully creepy!
Amazing, I looked at it so long, I started to get the chills.
It seems the mist from their mouths is forming a vortex on the ground.
I wonder if a portal to another world is about to open.

Thank you, I'm glad the picture draws you in this way, that was the hope when creating it.
Yeah, I have it on my desktop now. That little gargoyle thing really creeps me out.
This could be the entrance to the realm of the Forest Dwellers! Beautiful job and talent!
Yes indeed! I love your carvings, they're wonderful. Thanks for the watch too.
Your very welcome!
Wow... scary... exciting!
Thank you
I really, love this, it has the feeling of something really magical, really want to see more!! 
Thank you!
This is a great piece of work! The morning mist seems to be creeping in through the ancient oaks and rocks of the Ruins, blanketing the mystical wonders it once beheld. A tinge of magic pulls at the nooks of what the roots don't cover. Creatures stare down at the ones who dare to pass below its hanging vines and strong arches. The secret it holds will remain a mystery for ages to come...
Great description! You've summed it up in words very nicely.
Thanks
