I want to wade around in the ruins :3
I imagine it smelling sort of boggy, but in an ancient dusty way.

Water is so hard to paint! >.< You did an amazing job with all the reflections and ripples. The whole color scheme is really nice to look at as well. Man, this is just a really awesome picture.

Thank you very much! I think this piece suffers a little from being flat, but you live and learn. It was fun to make!

I dunno, I think it has a lot of depth. That rock and the reeds in the foreground add to it a lot by appearring so close.

Hey neat. That weedy water is particularly fine! I am quite fond of scenes of this sort... The kind of place that I'd like to hang out on some moony night with a bottle of wine and a million lust-maddened frogs for company.

Hee! I can hear loads of frogs from my back garden - we have a pond right nearby. Those things never shut up! (at least they don't come in the house like the crickets, though)...

I've had water scenes like this on my mind, lately. Not sure why. (Maybe too much dungeon diving in Oblivion...?)

Rivet Rivet Rivet. I like 'em, but I don't know about actually living right by a frog-packed pond. Might be too much of a good thing.

pixieface In reply to The-Donut-Truck [2008-06-30 17:20:49 +0000 UTC]

Well... there are other advantages besides the frogs. We're allowed to fish (although I don't and never have)... and I got attacked by a turtle the other day! He wasn't even a snapping turtle, just a regular one! I feel rather proud of that achievement. XD

The-Donut-Truck In reply to pixieface [2008-07-04 07:53:56 +0000 UTC]

Getting attacked by an ordinary turtle is special. Way to go! I was chased by a big white goose once. It was oddly frightening.

Geese are oddly frightening! And I have no idea why... weird creatures.

This is so beautiful, it's everything I love, water, ruined buildings, green-teal-blue. Amazing work.

Oooo. Love the weedy, overgrown feel to this. Watching buildings being reclaimed by nature is always fun.

Yeah, I've always had a bit of a thing for run down buildings. They have so much personality.

OMG no way, me too. I'm working on one right this moment, actually, a sequel to this [link]

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the water and how you used that yellow light throughout. My one crit - the stairs are too tall for that door >.>

Yeah, you're right. Stairs too tall! XD I'm gonna assume the lost race of whoever had long legs. Haha!

Weird how're we're both fixating on an idea at the same time! Great minds think alike, and all that! XD

A wise and ancient long legged, short torso-d indigenous race once populated this vast and lush jungle landscape...

pixieface In reply to caitlin-may [2008-06-21 06:53:46 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I was particularly pleased with the composition - something I'm usually a bit sucky at. I think it could probably use more contrast, to give it more pop - but with the limited colour palette I couldn't figure out what. So meh, I left it instead.
