Some Critique: (as requested, today i finally had some time for it. Oh, and sorry for my awful english)
Impression: While first browsing ~XSereneiX s gallery i was immediately stunned by the unusual technique of his latest works. This one is my personal favourite, cause it has fantastic colors, nice detail and also interesting setting. Although the whole piece has a bit of that style known as "surrealistic", it remains realistic - thus keeps the natural beaty of the landscape displayed.
Colors: Though the whole piece just seems a little monotonous cause mainly too color ranges where used - one from red to brown and one from white to dark blue - this adds an interesting contrast to the whole picture, and allows the viewer to discover more and more details over time: While on first watch the planet in the background is most salient, the baloons which have less contrast welcome to explore the depths of this rather dry-looking landscape.
Technique: The wavy/whisky style of this image as such may be far from unique, however, this is a quite difficult technique. I have seen some works utiliszing this kind of "shaping-by-destroying-shape", but they usually were blurry, dizzy or had no details at all."Balloning Through the Cosmic Chasm" shows that this is not necessarily the case, even in the downloadable high resolution there are only a few blurry spots, the rest beeing still sharp.
Concept: I must say i was always fascinated with balloons, they have a very unique charisma of progress, although actually alomst deprecated and rarely used nowadays. Baloons were used to conquer the skies long before we imagined flying et-propelled aircrafts. This is why i hope that baloons will hopefully - as the description of this deviation already implies - forever stay part of our culture. In this piece we see quite a lot of balloons, not very special shaped or colored, yet well introduced into the jagged landscape - rounding out the centered planet in the background with some clouds finishing a nice, complete, scene.
Conclusion: Although most parts of it were not too new for me, this picture is combines aweseome concept with interesting and well accomplished technique adding up to another wonderful scifi dream. Thank you for this great piece and please conqinue creating awesome scifi art!

Wonderful! The only sad thing about such awesome landscapes is that we probably never will be able to actually be in one..

Lol signature, I personally don't hate any country but I wish my country United States would stop kissing off to it and adapt a non-interventionist Foreign Policy, like Ron Paul's idea.
