City 10 Zenobia

Zenobia striked me as a strange mix of Baucis with the stilts and Esmeralda with the multiple levels to travel. The only reel difference being that Zenobia was made from bamboo instead and has ribbon like banners. I started by depicting the banner and multiple levels in 64 ad 65, the belvederes where described as cone shaped which is what 66 is of. At this point I took the city down a strange path, I realized that 66 looked a bit like a mushroom house that gnomes would live in so I got some images of mushrooms and started converting them into houses. Complete with ladders, banners and hanging side walks just like the text described. By 68 I realized I forgot to include the bamboo stilts so O had the idea of making the stem of the mushrooms into supports instead.
