Description As the title identifies, these are actually sign posts, written in the language of Arora , and scattered across the landscapes.

Something about colossal objects just gets me so exhilarated.

they're almost as if these represent three of the four elements. The top is above a lake, water. The middle is raised from the ground around a lush landscape, earth. And the last is high above a desert, air. My best guest is that the last symbol is in the biggest volcano or at the center of the earth.

Huh - I hadn't even noticed. That's really cool. A lava signpost would quite epic - although, nobody's going to be going near enough to read it.

All of your artwork opens up so many mysteries, makes me wonder what the story is behind them.

Aw - that's a wonderful comment. Thanks so much.
And for Arora at least, you won't have to just wonder about the story for much longer. ;D

These are great zed
I'm curious what is your coloring technique
Everything looks nice and light and colorful
It all seems pleasant

Thanks so much! That's lovely to hear.

I'm not actually fully aware of how I choose colors - primarily, it's just going with the feeling. However looking at these, it seems I like to choose minimal color combinations, yet suggest a full spectrum.

For example, the first painting is basically brown and blue. But the brown transitions from a yellow-brown to a red-brown - and the blue transitions from a green-blue to a blue-blue. It just makes the colors feel "fuller".

Another little thing I know I like to do is adding subtle bloom - where the light almost glows beyond where it's hitting. Which makes everything feel "soft".

Hope that helps. ^u^
