-------------------------
My images about the future are normally optimistic. This one has perhaps a mixed feeling, depending on your interpretation.
The titles comes from a poem by Lewis Carrol. It seemed appropriate.
This was, as always, rendered in Vue.
I like to use sand in my images. Here are some where sand takes an important part of the composition:
EDIT: wow, a DD! Thanks a lot to UJz for suggesting it and MoonBeam13 for featuring it. This is my 9th DD.
EDIT: please visit dandylion0505 and read his poems. If you follow my images, you'll understand why. Amazing...

Thanks! I go where my mind takes me. I try not to fight it when it wants to go somewhere else, sometimes.

I can understand why you love to use sand so much; every time you do, it is incredibly gorgeous! It's amazing how much this looks like a photograph, rather than something rendered on a computer.

Thank you!
Regarding realism, it's not my target on itself - realism is, for me, just a tool to help convincingly "sell" a strange concept.

I'd still love these concepts if they weren't done in realism; they aren't really strange to me, I've always dreamed of worlds like the ones you create.

Seems pretty optimistic to me. Then again, you did say it's up to perspective.

I'm glad you find it optimistic. It means the overall mood was powerful enough to divert the attention from what could be perceived as a significant rise in the water level due to the global warming.

Oh, I figured it was an artificial island. And on top of that, didn't think it was Earth. Seems I was off.

There's no off or on, your visions are as valid as mine.

I'm jealous! This is the kind of picture I want to do !! Especially this one, it had all I want to put in a picture, feeling(s) include.

Thanks! You can do it, there are many tools at our disposal now to put on screen almost anything you can imagine. It just needs the time and persistence to learn it.

What is the tool used to boost imagination ? 
admire a picture and say to yourself "I would have liked to create this picture !" knowing that you don't have naturally the inspiration to create it ? I assure you that no tools help in this case

Ah, I understand now.
And yes, I know exactly what you mean. Many times I look at an image and think exactly what you said. This normally happens with character images. I prefer to make landscapes and environments but truth is that when I try to create an original character I fail miserably. For example, I wish I had the talent of this guy to make characters: www.vandalhigh.com/

Peter Mohrbacher is indeed the kind of great artist I like too (thank you for making me see, I am fond of this kind of drawings). The strange thing is that his characters are often "dark"/"pessimistic" whereas I found your pictures "luminous"/"optimistic"... a strange opposition. The final moral of our story could be that artists have always a master ! Anyway, thanks you to lift the secrecy about our "imagination boosting tool", I'll try

I know what you mean about our opposite styles. I guess we all have "light" and "dark" inside of us...

This ocean of sand and water is really amazing ! I would be happy to live in such a place

Thanks! I would like to live here too. It always feels great when someone else would like to visit a place I imagine.
Peaceful is a very important word for me.

For me too and I totally share your vision of peace

Great composition! I like that expression of vastness and freedom.

Your pictures have always this fantastic depth. I always feel so lost and small in this surreal landscape. I love the composition and the level of quality.

Thank you! I was very glad to read your words, they're in sync with my intentions.

A cidade faz-me lembrar o Flash Gordon do Alex Raymond
Há uma sensação de desolação e solidão.

Não tinha pensado nessa semelhança mas sim, é verdade. De facto, a minha inspiração veio mais da arquitectura árabe e índia, como o Taj Mahal e similares, por causa da localização (deserto).
