Okay, I seriously have a moon fetish... and with that being stated, I think it's safe to say I've seen A LOT of images of the moon.
And with THAT being stated... I must also say that this is the best I've ever seen the moon portrayed. I love the black, blue and white of it and the thickness of the stars surrounding it. Even if you subtracted the bridge and the tree branches, you would still have a beautiful picture.
Really really neat

Awww! Thank you so much. I was actually pretty pleased with how the moon turned out - I've reused it in a lot of pictures now, actually :b

Eolhin In reply to jocarra [2005-10-27 01:44:37 +0000 UTC]

I can just see a wolf sitting atop the stones, silhouetted against the moon, perhaps howling.

That works too, though I don't know if gryphons howl.

Fleetfire [2005-10-16 23:17:52 +0000 UTC]

Wow! The silver and brown and blue together are all so delicious, and I love the detail on the moon, especially the cloudy brown spot. I noticed that if you look at that spot on the scaled-down version, it looks like part of a wolf's face, kind of. One part of the silhouette of the tree looks sort of like an eye... Maybe it's just because I'm obsessed with our canid friends. Anyway, awesome job!

jocarra In reply to Fleetfire [2005-10-17 00:58:39 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! Hmm... I've never noticed a wolf's face before... It certainly wasn't intentional, but maybe it just came out on its own

Infrunitas [2005-10-16 14:41:03 +0000 UTC]

Superb. The moon gives an almost haunting feel, like the howl of a wolf.

jocarra In reply to Infrunitas [2005-10-16 21:14:22 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much - I like how you compared a visual to a sound... Sound is one of those sensory modalities often neglected, especially in art, and it was cool of you to note it

linteli [2005-10-08 08:04:10 +0000 UTC]

That is very beautiful, as I've very often told you. The full moon being so silvery and bright, the sky painted with glimmering stars and then these rough rocks. Without the rockformation this could almost be too silverylovely but with it, great balance. I also like the silhouettes of the branches. Very nice work, will we see the finished work someday soon too?

jocarra In reply to linteli [2005-10-08 18:31:44 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much I really appreciate your wonderful comments Heh, yeah, I feel like the picture wouldn't be "right" if it didn't have the arch in there - I was actually surprised how effective it was as a composition (I usually don't like my works composition-wise), so I wanted to see what others thought by posting it as just a landscape. Thanks again

And yeah, the finished work should be up, um... sometime before Christmas X3

linteli In reply to jocarra [2005-10-11 15:59:20 +0000 UTC]

I bet it's worth waiting for. And archs like this one, they just can create this wonderful mood. Like it.
