Description Something from late last night. I was so..shaky out of it mental overload at the time, and still sort of am. I'll write a better description when I can gather my thoughts a bit more.

At any rate, there's a lot of symbolism in here...some of which I might explain later.

At any rate, compression killed this. Really killed it.

I am so tempted to fave this...for the beautifulness of the kinda soviet repressionish theme to it. And the title. Oh what the hell.

Hope you feel better soon Yama.

It has a very holocaust feeling to it...with the huge fires in the distance and the ashes/snow falling. I don't know, but I really like it. :3

Depressing analogy, so falling like ash I mean.

Wow. I love the industrial colors and the eerie feel about this. You've done a great job capturing desolation . . . I don't know whether to congratulate, envy, or fear you for that.

Also, I lov ehow this looks vast and yet flat. Great job. +fav

i love the background and the pose that "nameless" is in... maybe they should be named Emanon (No name backwards.) O.o beautiful job portraying emotion.

Lovely. Soft, subliminal. I love the red moon.. so close, but in the distance, where it really is. I mistook it for a photo manip, but now that I see it was actually done in oC, I am most impressed and delighted by its beauty. Very nice.

woah... this is great... I love the contrasts between the bright fire colors and the grayscaled landscape. kinda reminds me of that Sigur Ros music video... if I'm even spelling that band name right..

gryphonworks [2004-06-05 19:16:06 +0000 UTC]

Wow.... that's a very detailed pic. I really like that bloody bottle in the foreground, the shading and reflections make it look quite real. Great work!

He's a really neat character I like the lighting effects here, and the desolate kind of scene. The snow is cool

When I look at this picture its almost.. suffocating because of the smokiness and the fire. Not that its a bad thing It really conveys emotion. I like the contrast between the snow and the flames, too. And that bottle with the bloody fingerprints on the side in the foreground, that's really cool. It almost looks real

Incredible, but big surprise there, huh? ^^ This is really really REALLY cool. Yes, repetition is in order :3

Just out of curiosity, how long did it take you to do this?

Combined...probably 2-3 hours. But I was working on it off and on from about 10:00-3:00 [pm-am].

Thanks for the comment!

xazy [2004-06-05 18:20:05 +0000 UTC]

The depth and atmosphere in this are handled really well. It reminds me almost of Schindler's List (with the snow/ashes reference) but at the same time, it's something more than that. Excellent work.

Aeyoqen [2004-06-05 18:19:31 +0000 UTC]

This just really has an impact on me somehow...the mood of it I guess. The concept, the colors, the desolate feel of it - just wonderful.

If compression killed this, I would have never guessed.

But anyway - I hope you get your thoughts gathered and are back in mental stability soon.

...her name is definitely Mellequel.

I like this too. There's lots happenin' in the distance, such as smokestacks, footprints and the like. The blood, snowflakes, and bottles are even cooler.

You've outdone yourself.

Made to last a while
