Lovely concept. Are they drawn to the machine or does the machine create them?

It's very gorgeous & fascinating to look at. At a first glance it all reminds me of Final Fantasy: Spirits Within, the game Quake 4 and the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. But in those movies/games spirits and people don't match well, in a friendly manner I mean.

That's perhaps the most special feature of this work. The ghosts are hanging around the machine thing, but don't seem to be forced to. There's a fairly friendly atmosphere which I never saw before in a sci-fi setting.

Very, very nice!

I don't know if its just me, but I like to know something about what I'm looking at. You know, something with a little more substance that just " . ". But hell, maybe thats just me!

Again, Great job!

I'd prefer to let the viewer see what they'd like to see, subjectivity, tend not to like giving too much away as people take what they want from an image anyway, more important to get someone engaged into it than give my view on what's happening

thx man

Very interesting.... i like how the white wispy spirits seem to concentrate on that large machinery looking thing in the middle...

Reminds me of "The 13th Ghost." Pretty clean and precise. Glowing Eyes?

lpowell [2007-12-04 01:50:17 +0000 UTC]

This is great. It's a very interesting concept, and very well executed. I'd only like to point out that the man near the bottom right, outside the glass room, has no pupils; his eyes are simply white. It's a tad distracting, unless you meant it to be that way?

Great job.

They're glowing blueish green actually. It looks to me like he meant for it to be like that.

Wow, this is really creepy because it has kind of a 'normal' feel to it if you get me. Like it's really in a real hangar.
Really impressive

Reminds me slightly of the game "Prey" where you get some freaky ghost things swarming you. I love the atmosphere, I don't think any artist can use black and sombre colours as well as you. Great pic man

, no idea myself haha, started out as aperspective grid, quickly blocked in a room, stuck the giant machine in, the ghosts were a very late addition, had it completed before i stuck that in

Carlos2013 In reply to spyroteknik [2007-12-04 19:46:16 +0000 UTC]

Well it definatly turned out great! I think the ghosts as an extra addition make it a very interesting to look at (even if it was a last minute thing)

The foreground guy looks evul with his glowing green eyes! hehe

btw the machine is very interesting, but is it supposed to be slanted?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

spyroteknik In reply to seancruz [2007-12-03 21:13:15 +0000 UTC]

yeah, well, not slanted, but uneven, treid to steer clear of a symmetrical appearance, so it has one egg shaped side, and one kind of diamond shaped
