Message from @md2000:

I’m partial to something like the Tiger’s Nest monastery in Bhutan, but it could be anything the name suggests from the Southwest USA native cliff dwellings to the cave houses of Loire or Cappadocia or the Greek monastery of Meteora. Or a castle atop a crag. Or an eagle’s nest. Or one of those mountain climber “sleep halfway up the cliff” things… Or whatever fantasy the artist can dream up, since this is the point of the challenge. I guess the less posted about clarification the better…

Gentlemen, start your (render) engines!

Pure- I did use a few premade assets(trees and some rocks), but the main parts are all new so I think it counts.

At first I didn’t grasp what your work depicts but it occurred to me that it’s a view of the cliff from above. Quite a mind-bender.

The concept was interesting to me, the execution of it a little tougher than I thought. I ended up accepting a bit of an abstract result. My brother didn’t get what it was.

What a cliff hanger!
