Description So when I'm not drawing aliens I like to work on fantasy worlds. It's nice to take a break from scifi every once and a while.

Ah the stranger is leading a griffin or hippogriff. The glyphs on the birds' stones is a cool touch

Yes!

This is what fantasy is about: imagination!
It gives freedom!

Imagination will take you everywhere." -- Albert Einstein

Great work!

It reminds me of the game called Journey. It's one of the best works I have ever seen.

Definitely can see it, the desert atmosphere and mysterious ruins and all. I unfortunately haven't been able to play Journey, but it looks awesome!

I'm vaguely reminded of the obelisks found in the creature stage of Spore and the discovery of the grounded Khartoba ship in the introductory sequence of Homeworld, though this is much more visually appealing than the former . The use of silhouettes and faded colors lends itself well to the setting and the streaks across the sand direct attention towards the centerpiece. My only questions regard the setting and a matter of scale; ruined or not, does the sandbird present some place of gathering, or an artifact of power to be understood and used only by a select few (if there is indeed magic or lost technology in this universe), and given the comparative sizes of sandbird and living birds, how big is the sandbird supposed to be (or, conversely, how big are the birds perched here)?

exo-bio In reply to Zerraspace [2012-09-09 06:54:59 +0000 UTC]

The birds here are a little large in comparison to the structures, but it was a speed sketch so I wasn't really paying that much attention. The birds ARE quite large though. Sandbird is the name of the place as well as a bird who lives there, the birds or quite ancient and knowledgeable, which is why people will journey to them. Only if they seek certain life paths though, and different paths lead to different birds.

A race from the world. Definitely nothing like an Argonian when you see them in the light and not as silhouettes.

I am developing story for this at the moment, I plan on using one of the characters in a writing/roleplay sort of event I'm going to with a bunch of friends. This world is part of a mythology I developed, there are multiple realms...universe...thingees. I'll polish up a decent description and post it sometime.
