Made for my love. I swear to keep our dreams safe and sound, even when the world comes crashing in to tear them down.
This isn't really anything special. In fact it's very simple compared to most of my manipulations. The construction of the fortress was no easy task (I used 5 different photos to create it), but there are no little special details that make this picture stand out. I thought about adding this and that, but it seemed to take away from the sturdy and calm feel. I believe it's the meaning behind this that makes the picture what it is.
Water meant to be calm with no spashes on the rocks. Clouds are supposed to be far away in back like an impending storm or perhaps a storm that has already moved on.
Listening to: HIM - This Fortress of Tears

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
