Description "Just at the foot of the mountain,
underneath a blanket of ice and crystal,
there is a solitary tree
that no one dares to uproot.
From its twisted branches
you hear a moan as you pass by.
It's not the wind, nor an echo,
but rather an inmortal song."

........................extract from "Spectral Melody", Forgotten 2.


This image was published in my artbook Forgotten 2 along with more than 40 images. It belongs to the story "Spectral Melody".

Forgotten 2 is available for sale in english [link] , german [link] and spanish [link] , and other languages are on the way.

Artwork done in photoshop, a lot of hours

Thanks a lot
I don't know when it will be available in Italy, don't have a lot of news about this. Hope you don't have to wait too much. As soon as I know the dates, I will post the news on my site.

And thanks too for letting me know about the links, they're always giving me problems . They should be working now.

Yeah sometimes the links on here are a bit weird. I try to use html sometimes and it'll take it and other times it won't.

dark-spider In reply to AutumnEmbers [2010-01-29 20:46:17 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's most difficult to post links than images here . Sometimes even appear emoticons instead, lol...

genial^^ me encantan todos tus trabajos y ver la mejoria progresiva que tienes n___n

por cierto, ya sé que es mucho pedír, pero como pienso dedicarme a la misma rama creativa (ilustracion) me gustaria que visitaras mi DA y me dieras tu opinión si no es mucho pedir, un saludo artista n__n

dark-spider In reply to winium [2010-01-29 19:34:37 +0000 UTC]

Muchas gracias

Si te parece, te doy mi opinión sobre tu obra un poco más adelante, cuando no esté tan saturada de trabajo (tengo que ponerme ahora mismo), porque imagino que querrás una opinión un poco más concisa que "está bien" o "tienes que mejorar" . Mandame una nota dentro de unas semanas y me lo recuerdas
