    It's probably not a super difficult thing to pull off, my brain is just extremely bad at handling anything like this. Trying to visualize a chain of events or other such things, it's a nightmare for me. But that's just my personal hangup, I'm sure (or I hope!) Bogie's mind is wired a little better

    No worries Naima, I will come up with something nice. I already have some good ideas.

    @Naima no worries, we are just giving you a hard time for putting together a very professional looking document about what you wanted. I have never received such good info from my clients.

    Good luck Bogie. That is quite a challange you got there.
    I am beginning to think me and Diamond gave each other a "walk in the park" commissions.... comparing to some

    That's for sure. Some of these commissions I would've crawled into a hole to avoid.

    Here is my first WIP. I am going to do each phase of the battle on a different Parchment. Right now I am working on the castle and the wall.
    I found the castle with a Google Image search for free to use Chinese Forts and then heavily modified it in Photoshop.
    The Background Parchment was free stock image on Deviant art by Castock and the cliffs are from MadCowChef's free tiles.

    wow, Bogie, that's fantastic! I love the broken wall! And the colors really make everything pop!

    I concur, excellent way to get started Mr. B. Digging the colors and the parchment.
