looking for fortress pictures

Post by **vonVader** » Mon Apr 25, 2005 10:37 pm

I am looking for pictures (photography, paintings, digital art, 3D,...) of nordic fortresses/castles. I'm doing a map "of a fortress on a mountain". Very hard to exaplin what exactly I mean, so I included some links of pictures that I find good (but not great) to start off as an inspiration for my project. I'm not really looking for realism but fantasy/mythology - that kind of stuff. Things you normally see in LOTR(-alike) movies.

I've tried searching but I don't even know how to start. I know there are quite a lot of Norweign/Swedish artists doing paintings like that (you can normally see them regulary as black metal CD covers :)).

If anyone can give me any links or guidelines where to look for this kind of stuff, that would be very helpful.

I have this feeling our society will be split into two groups: those who know how to use google and those who don't...

/me wonders what the future will be like.

the gap is allready there ...
google is the most important web site.
and it's one of the most important inventions made in the last 20 years. it's, in fact, lifechanging.
