When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
In an age that's long forgotten,
The stars let out a sigh, They shone out of the heavens, And fell out of the sky, The people in their broken homes, Let out a broken cry, It flew upon the metal breeze and cracked a metal lie. The mountains turned to fire, The people turned to dust, Everything that used to be, Turned into hollow rust. -------- It's still a work in progress, I'm having a lot of difficulty drawing the city. I'll have to re-draw it I think, but still - I think the sky and the god himself have improved a bit (thanks to suggestions and things - thank you  ). So yes, there is probably someone out there who might be wondering what this image is about, so for those who are interested I'll describe a little the things behind it.Basically, this figure represents the god of the industrial world. He, in his own way is the spark of the tool, the raising of skyscrapers and the lament of humanity lost. While he is amazing and beautiful in his own way, he has destroyed nature around him and this is the reason for his kneeling. Perhaps in a small while, you would see comets smashing into the Earth as the slate is wiped clean for the cycle to begin anew. |

Paint a picture with words and everyone sees something different.
Yes, I know that was rather "biblical," but it's what I see... which is strange, because I'm not very "biblical."
I disagree with the previous comment, whereas that you should not change the tone between the figure and the background; it gives it that "singularity" effect, whereas everything is connected, all, and one.
I have to say, I am quite blown away by this piece... as I am always blown away by your work, and I can only say to continue; if not for yourself, then the world... please.

Girl, we couldn't get much higher
I'm not a "biblical" person eaither, or a religious person in general but I do find a sense of beauty from the ideas that different religions have.
This is the calm before the storm because unfortunately, as you said, this "god" is creating the world in his own image but he is made out of metal. Forged in the fire of suns. While this may not seem bad, it is because the people who he is helping to create have nothing in the way of trees or a connection with their enviroment.
As they build and destroy the envrioment around them eventually the mountains crack and restore things to the way they were.
So think of this as one moment, a breath, before it ends, only to be reborn once again into something different.
And yes - this is a little of how I feel about the world. I can't shake the feeling that it's all gone wrong. Perhaps when I finish this piece I will draw the next part of the story.

Aye - I wanted to get away from photomanipulations because well.. I find that I can only go so far with them. Perhaps the thing it might remind you of is a work of art called "The Thinker". The being in this painting is in a similar position to the figure in that work.
And it's Oxfordshire. Hehe. Almost

...And you were worried that your artistic side had come to an end. The pale horse went lame and there's not a replacement to be had at the moment- something tells me it will take a while for you to be caught up with. X) We all understand laziness, though. You may be so far behind with everything that if you had to finish everything before you could die you'd live past your due, but -no one- escapes laziness. Though a few people do manage to outrun it for the most part.
XD Oxfordshire. Ox-Ford-Shire... must remember the simple three-part-word. X) It's doing you good, lass.
And this has moved on so much from the draft I saw, well done!!!
It's great
