Description Inspired by The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. This is an interpretation of Eddie's dream. He sees the tower on a field of roses with a blue sky behind it.

Although this is a photo manipulation it involved a lot of drawing. The original tower image was of only a fraction of the tower you see here and it didn't have any windows. The only meadow with red flowers I could find was of poppies so all the roses have been put in by me. There are literally hundreds of masks in this image to blend it all together. LOL I love The Dark Tower series and wanted to get it right.

Oh, absaloutly! [link] My username is Leafbreeze. If you need information of how I'm going to use it, I'll tell you so you know: You see, it's about a sort of fanfiction/roleplay I'm writing about a magical forest. In the forest between two hills is a sort of mysterious tower, and your picture matched the image in my mind perfectly- Tall and straight with few windows and stone walls. If you're familiar with a series called Warrior Cats, it's for my Clan called FableClan. Is that what you need? I can give you any more information you like, no problem!

I am so sorry for the late reply. Things got in the way...

Generally I allow my images to be showcased on blogs and personal websites but not on forum pages and in other places where the image has no 'connection' to me any longer. The problem is that on forum pages etc I have no control over how the image is displayed nor the security which is used to prevent it from being downloaded. I am selling prints of my images and don't want them to be downloadable by just anyone. I found that images available that way receive no respect from the people who download them and are then shared all across the net without any connection to me and may even be used in other people's art.

So as much as I am flattered by your interest, the answer is no. I hope you understand.

Oh, I completely understand! It's no trouble, really. Thank you for replying, at least!
This is a lovely art piece too.

Thanks!
