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...

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.

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 ...

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.

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...
