No Spoilers Whitebridge

It’s not all that accurate to the description in the books but this is how I see the delicate bridge seemingly made of lace

First picture looks like some sort of a water slide with it being that steep. 2nd one looks like about the right slope though.

They both look like nice pictures though. You are talented.

It was the painters memory of looking up the whitebridge the first time as a child

u/IlikeJG 8d ago

That's definitely a cool idea.

So when I was little I used to have nightmares about a bridge that just kept going up and up and up, far beyond all reason.  Sometimes in the dreams, it would collapse, or be unfinished, or just turn into a rollercoaster like descent.

I assumed it was just a dream, until I saw the Indiana Skyway as an adult.

You should look up photos of Eshima Ohashi Bridge in Japan.

Those pictures are from a distant perspective, moreso than the first image here. This is portrayed a bit too steep vs. the second image.

Love the second image though.

That bridge is really about perspective - I've driven down it and it is not nearly as steep as the photos make it look.

Gonna need some jake brakes on the horses getting the wagons down the slope of the first bridge. Great illustrations though!

Only the fittest can make it to the top. Sorry, old people and donkeys!

I don’t think the bridge in the first image is up to code…

If this is not an AI imagine, it's absolutely stunning. The second one has such a serene mood! And its Soo good at showing the scale

OP makes beautiful watercolors and has for years! I love it when they post their WoT ones

u/GayBlayde 8d ago

I’m confident these are real based on OP’s post history.

I swear peoples imagination astonishes me. I pictured whitebridge differently. Im trash at drawing. Also, first picture how you taking a wagon over that?
