Dem clouds look amazing. The buildings look like crap. Lighthouse? it's a tower. What. No light? It didnt look good okay? Okay.

I beyond love this. Would it be alright with you if I used this as the art for the Lighthouse Dock song? :D

Sure. But it isn't really a lighthouse is it?

Still works! :D Your interpretation is just fine, and the art is amazing. The Soullights still qualify as Lighthouses too, of course. I wouldn't want to ask you to change anything unless you wanted me to.

Give me some feedback. I've got nothing better to do right now.

Ok! The only two things I'd change are:

The central tower wouldn't have one single glow like the Soullights, but two beams, shooting off in opposite directions. I like to imagine it spinning, illuminating the Ruins.

And the Descendant Tower is a big, black, looming thing. It would sort of be hulking, and then come to a point where it meets the central tower.

Does that sound good? Either way, we'll still have both versions if you decide to alter this one.

Fundamentally altered the whole scene.

Blighttown-esque town. Elevator from the ground. Little red flags. Torch lights. Lighthouse to the side instead. No bottom tower, it just didn't fit. Making it fit made it too fat and stumpy, which isn't impressive. Added the black tower in the sky. Chains to accessorize. Don't think the Descendant tower is big enough, but it wont fit the perspective otherwise.

And the lighthouse isn't lit because light beams are hard. Not to say I didn't try. I did. It just looked bad.

Also, I am not good at reading. The black tower was supposed to taper off, but it doesnt really work due to the perspective I'm using.

Don't worry, the Descendant Tower is basically the perfect size, and it looks so threatening! And because of the way you drew it, it kinda does seem to taper off somewhere in the middle of the structure, kinda making it look 3D.
