Description
With this piece, I wanted a real sense of scale. The theme is all about flight and trusting yourself. I wanted it to feel like a dream; the only way to find out if you can fly or not is to jump.Time: Approx 5-6 hours
Tools: Photoshop CS3 & Wacom Intuos tablet

This is absolutely stunning... simply breathtaking. I cant believe how well you captured the sheer scale of the cliffs and depth of the environment. I also love the subtleties (or not so subtle) in the outfit of the character with the wings and such. Just love it.

Don't worry. If it's really a dream you'll wake up before you hit the ground. If it's not a dream... Well you should better hope you learn to fly pretty quick. Pretty cool though.

Absolutely incredible. I love how the orange really pops against the blues and greens, and the attention to detail in the perspective is mind-blowing. Fantastic- this is definitely one of my favourites of yours. c:

This is really cool! I like how the guy and the birds have the same general color scheme. Kinda makes me think that if he -does- jump off, he'll fly.

Well. This goes on my list of "pieces of art that I ABSOLUTELY MUST OBTAIN A PRINT OF for college/life because they NEED TO BE ON MY WALL".
I love your concept. You have the dream aspect down beautifully. The colors and the perspective really add to that.
Please excuse me while I stare at this for a long period of time~

This reminds me of some of the lyrics from 'Defying Gravity', Elphaba's theme from 'Wicked'. Nicely done!

Nice job I like that you use clashing colors a lot. (Or at least I think they look clashing)

Damn!I thought I overcame my fear of heights,it looked so real I reacted by backing off the monitor. It's a very dramatic piece. The dreamer jumps and if he falls,he wakes up but if he flies..he'll have a wonderful dream and wake up refreshed

This is awesome, you really captured the sheer size. I adore the rivers and how you can see detail on the feathers.

This is gorgeous! Absolutely remarkable! I love the colours, and the two trailing pieces of orange fabric resemble wings (Yes, quite puny wings I notice but its there). You're explanation of it is also fitting. Good job

I think you've done a wonderful job with the perspective. It conveys a real feeling of height without getting carried away with extremes. I love the blue of the canyon, it's like it glows with its own promise. It seems like something exhilarating, rather than something to be afraid of and shy away from. The matching colour schemes on the birds and the jumper are a nice touch too

Your backgrounds are always amazingly realistic and beautiful. It really does feel like a dream, so you've accomplished your goal.
I love the imagery of the colors and patterns on the birds matching those on the person.

Very cool concept, the perspective work is brilliant. I think it would be a bit cooler if it were people flying rather than birds but other than that 5/5.

I'm so ready to fly.
This piece reminds me of a short story I just wrote, called "The Meaning of Life."
I love this picture.
