Description
The Elders didn't know what to make of it, which in and of itself was frightening. The ground had been shaking for weeks and unexpected storms would roll in out of the desert, and at night it seemed the stars themselves were doing battle. The people prayed and gave offering in case we had offended the gods, but to no avail.Then the sky began to fall. The sun wept as tears of flame began to burn in the sky, falling down and tearing the land apart. The people ran to the hills, not knowing where to go. Then the great Angel came soaring among the tears. Spears of light leapt from our protector, and the firey tears burst like seeds in the wind. The ground stopped shaking and the wondrous Angel flew upward and upward till it was gone. We think it is still there. Holding up the sky for us once more.

Still working on ideas, so spliced this together. Not pleased with it entirely, but I hope it's a start of better to come. For what it's worth, enjoy

The picture with the high-velocity fly-by is cool, but what I really like is the ancient "battle-of-the-gods" tale. It sounds like one of the "Vimana" stories from the Sanskrit texts of many thousands of years ago. Clever and imaginative writing.

Thank you very much my friend I enjoy creating a story with my art, but I also enjoy making a story to go with the art and most of the time regard it just as important as the image. I'm very glad you enjoyed them both

Cool idea and very creative use of the ship! It definite evokes several TOS episodes like "The Apple" and the "Paradise Syndrome". I hope you do more with this theme

Thank you very much I wasn't getting what I wanted for a beauty shot in space, but then I got the notion that it's not just the big ships that get to save the day once in a while
Very glad it's to your liking

Thanks Working on another one as we speak
A bit more mundane but I think it'll look nice
