Man... I'm totally feeling the scale here. It's awesome. With this level of refinement and such a strong ethereal atmosphere you'll be sure to do well in EOTW. I particularly like the way you handled the texture of and reflections upon the water. Very nice.

The obelisk looks a little like something out of an H.P. Lovecraft story, is it?

spyroteknik In reply to StarDragon77 [2006-07-21 14:34:10 +0000 UTC]

not planned, was just my take on a theme 'monolith'

StarDragon77 In reply to spyroteknik [2006-07-21 14:36:46 +0000 UTC]

IN that case, I'd recommend reading some of Lovecraft's stuff, you'll get a lot of inspiration for landscapes from that.

Wow, this piece is incredible! I love how prominent the obelisk is in this, and how small you made the people at the bottom of the page to show just how massive it is. If looks so lifelike too, excellent job!
