A surreal vision of the end of the world.(FULL VIEW PLEASEl, THERE ARE LOTS OF DETAILS)
Find my illustration services on Fiverr:Β Β www.fiverr.com/fabiosanna
A man sitting on the edge of the world sees a swallow flying in the sky. The whole scene is a metaphore of the will to cross a border to reach other places, communicate with other people and live other experiences.
Enjoy and give me feedback please, it was a one week work.

don't watch the photos, I put those just to have the feeling of the horyzon and the river. I completely changed and went on with my mind. I usually don't copy or use reference.

O__O It's amazing! I love all the textures in this pic, and how it is so detailed at the front but then becomes less distinct as it fades into the background, and the softness of the mountains and the waterfall... and the clouds, and the swallow that looks so real!

I like this alot, the detail on the grass, trees, and the rocks. I never get it to look that good, and most people cheat on that stuff and use pre-done brushes

My motto is "DON'T USE REFERENCES, DON'T USE PREBRUSHING, USE YOUR BRAIN!" hehehehe
well sometimes I watch pictures, but never to copy them, just to get the feeling of the light or the textures. But I repeat I never copy any of that.
Thanks for the comment and for the fave!

no problem
I always feel if I use brushes I might as well be traceing lol

I like the distorted perspective effect. It enhances the surreal feeling of the landscape. That bird looks a little like a bunting.

unfortunately, this is out of my league to comment on.
Although, the expression; He doesn't seem frustrated, as much as longing...wistful, longing for the freedom to soar beyond the edge of reality.
This seriously deserves more views.

oh! this is really motivating me..I did this for a competition...I hope I'll get through!
Anyway I'm happy that people commented on it well and gave me useful tips for next work
About him...I guess he's a kind a self portrait...maybe the way I feel now in my art life. It's so good when people touches some points in your brain with some comments and you realize there is something more in your work...it always happens to me. Thanks...

This is beautiful. The angle and the sky really makes me feel disoriented and dizzy! o_o Gives me the same feeling as looking out of a window in a really high building.

sorry if it comes twice, but I have a shitty connection
thanks a lot! that's a great comment, it motivate me to make another surreal piece!

Awesome! I think taking some photos with a digicamera to texture this a bit could be really neat. Your work was well worth it- you did a great job
