For who has visited Lankhmar or even Ankh-Morpork, life in Gancaloon 
will not come as a surprise. Those cities have much in common ;-)

While Iskander is not stupid, he should never have involved himself with 
the local politics. But then, it was not entirely his fault when he 
stumbled inadvertently over the legs of the Seer and...

To make a long tale short, Iskander is soon under scrutiny, not in the 
least from the courtesan, Layla. Who is displeased. Very displeased. So, 
she sends her two bodyguards, Ling Yi and Ling Er, after him...

Definitely not Ankh-Morpork, too clean, :-P

But should Iskander's feet (right one anyway) be off the ground?

Looks good and I'm looking forward to more stories from the White Hart. 
Or is it the Broken Drum?

The Mended Drum, surely? Wasn't there a refurb after that nasty business with
the inn sewer ants, and the resulting fire?

Good pic btw Thomas :)

You spent the last six months tweaking a huge cityscape for THIS?

That's what I call attention to detail :-P

Nice image BTW ;)

On the other hand the left girl's right foot seems to be partially stuck IN the
ground...

Other than those minor details, good picture. HIS facial expression is
impressive ;-)

Great work.

Nobody asked, but I shall tell nonetheless:  :-)
The stonework has been obtained with the displacement feature that comes 
with (the latest) Poseray beta. I was experimenting and got these results.
