Description This only took me long enough. I doubt I'll ever be pleased with it; the sky alone took far longer than it was really worth, and it still looks terrible. But I don't want to work on it anymore, my tablet hand is cramped and my shoulder is hurting.

I'm also really sorry about not replying to comments and stuff.

I have searched for this picture on dA for EVER since last year when a friend passed the pic to me i've been using it as my wallpaper... I went head over heels for this piece, I don't give a shit what people said needed improvement or could have "been better" I personally believe you have a masterpiece here, don't change a thing, it is beautiful. I searched for a year to find this, just to say how awesome it is and give my appreciation to the artist that created the one wallpaper I will never delete. <3333333333 Nice work, and thank you for providing my desktop environment with art. Time for a victory dance because I finally found this page and know who made the art!

Yeah the sky is really a mess. The rocks in the foreground could have used some more shades imho, but other that that the picture is awesome!

Fear smiley from me

Don't be so harsh to yourself. I think that the picture is AWESOME! Where many fails you succeed so easily - the atmosphere. That note of mysticism entwined with pre/post-apocalyptic feeling is something special.

...Behold the Wanderer!... And the sky's falling down, but the Wanderer keeps on. Lingering with the solitude, undisturbed by the changes around - blindly following His* sole path... The path only known to Him. Even without a slightest clue where it leads, He knows that He must take it, and follow it till the end, no mater how that end was...

Hope you don't mind for my little... ahm... impression




*Know that char is female, but for the 'dramatic' note ued 'He' as reference to the 'Wanderer' (masculine word used for both male and female wanderers - If i'm righty

Ever since that one time I put my gallery into storage and unstored it, on every image that was put into storage, everytime someone new favorited the image, it would purge all of the original favorites.

And thanks!

It has always been said that the great artists are the ones whom are the most critical with themselves... i honestly see that here. The sky is beautiful, and the mood is well thought and brought out...excellent work.

Oooh man. <3 I am automatically attracted to those rocks, and I don't know why. I love how you gave them an actual form, not just "LOL GREY LUMP" A perfect touch of realism. And that sky is absolutely insane. The lining on the outside of the clouds really defines them and stops it from all just being a mush of colours.

and, of course, NOM WATER

Beautiful! And oh, a little silver lining in the dark grey gloomy clouds!

Excellent mood projection. You know I'd love to see you work on this more .... but you can always try with a new piece too. I know you will, anyway.

I like how the clouds have a techno-modern look to them but are still natural.
