WANT MORE DELICIOUS ARTS? READ ROMANTICALLY APOCALYPTIC [link]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I bowed to the horned god, asking it for passage,
For in this city of the ancients, where time stood still,
any travelers that steered from the path, were known to have been consumed by the invisible demons... their hair falling out, possibly from the horror of what they've seen.
Here, even in spring, autumn and winter persisted- some trees leaf-less and some eternally orange in their colors, a strange and wondrous sight.

This is pretty awesome. So i'm fairly certain you use a lot of photos in these and make them look like they're painted...am i correct. For example, it seems like about half of the trees in this are photos that are blended into painted ones. And even the horse looks like its out of a photo. Even still this is great work. Let me know if my thoughts are correct.

Beautiful work, man. Reminds me of the book Eternity Road, the clash of worlds: our present, turned ancient, contrasted with a medieval presence of the future.
Dunno if that made sense.

This is scary.
Fer the past 5 years, I've been working on a story which is very similar to what is portrayed in this picture:
A fantasy, but set far in the future, where our civilization would be long extinct, and thus be the equivalent of Atlantis fer them.

Awesome picture. Sorry, that's all I can really say, I'm not that good at making comments, so I won't bother trying to praise the artwork in great detail or whatever.
This piece represents this new year for me, an emergence from the darkness of eternal winter into a new spring.
Sweet. I was expecting some sort of explanation for the sudden change in colors and everything.
But on an unrelated note, can you tell me why you post your pictures in random sections and then wait a whole day to move them to their appropriate places?
