Splendid !
You version of kjeragbolten is definitely more poetic. Like that
The rock itself looks also like it's alive somehow.  The textures bring a feeling of veins and flesh.
I'm liking your Terra Paraversum project very much already ^^
Any more art about that project on the burners ?
Thanks for sharing anyway, great piece !

Sure! "Terra Paraversum" sets real existing landscapes with another culture, tales or myth in a new context. This stone-formation is the kjeragbolten in norway (just google it, you will find a lot), and of course you expect some vikings there (over-fantasy-styled in my case), mixed with the legend of Arthur and his Excalibur. I just find it a kind of funny to transport this "pull this weapon out of the stone and you will be king" from england to norway, including the old skandinavian believe of Thor and his Hammer Mjölnir. So i saw this kjeragbolten and well..  if there a place to become king in norway, it will be there

I have to seriously say that is one of the most creative ideas I've heard in a whole while
I know that rock from somewhere in my subconscious memory ... it's great how you want to mix up all the myths and places them into real landscapes ... it sounds realistic in a certain way and it provides a new image of the whole world. 
Is it like a story universe? Or is it some worldbuilding project you've got going on?

Also love the Thor Mjölnir/Excalibur mix up ... I think it would be an amazing story, especially if thor ends up to be real

Neither nor. Its simply an idea for a calendar for exampel. I build my world Khorghil since 1996 but it is pure fantasy. The Terra Paraversum - Pieces are stand-alones . But feel free to write a nice little Story about it

Well, maybe I will, though, not in the foreseeable future ... maybe in the summer holidays, I'll add it to my list

If you don't mind of course

I have to check out your Khorghil world, I'm also going to develop a story in my free-time. Must be awesome to see what 21 years of worldbuilding can produce no?
