  1. All these sketches gave me memories of when I read the DL books for the first time, and some kind of wonder/nostalgia.

    On the other hand, the two towers, the one for chapter 11, an the one for chapter 28, just blew my mind and my imagination, so beautiful they are. Anytime I draw towers of castle, these are never far from my maps/sketches.
