Good day dear fellow Deviants! At last I finished the re-imaging of my old oekaki 'The Tiny Cavern Castle' [link]

The low-tech little castle has been replaced for a high-tech metropolis inhabited by millions of individuals, but yet the structure of the old oekaki basically remains the same. :)

I strongly advise you to look at the full view, since you haven't really seen this piece yet if you judge by the preview, there is a world of detail to get lost in. At least I hope you will all experience it that way. It's all about creating wild and wondrous worlds that look a bit different as the usual sci-fi landscapes look and feel like. I think I succeeded pretty well, well worth my Christmas holiday. ;)

Original oekaki: 400x300 px, Shi-Painter, about an hour of work
Re-imaging: 4500x3375 px, Photoshop 7, about two weeks of work

For the digital painters in the audience: yes, it looks so soft around the edges because I’m such a nutcase that I painted the whole damn thing with the airbrush tool set at a 20% flow. I like the fluffy dreamlike quality that it gives to a piece. Especially when set to a colour theme like this.

Oh well, enjoy! :)

This is one of those pictures that make fantasy and dreams come alive. It has so much depth and details; it depicts one of those places that one would love to run away to if they could. (Suggested by =ScarletHawk and Featured by `voodoo-prophet)

This is amazing man..... I love the color sceme and the over all dreamlike look to it, The road or thing whatever it is going into the castle looks like the prespective off at the very end when it is going into it... I love how you can look at this picture and find new things every time you look at it great work, keep up the amazing work... +fav....

I spotted this on the Recent Deviations in the front page, Leo!

:jawdrop: Man... I can't stop looking at it... so much in there. My favourite part though, has got to be the city on the left, in the background against the cavern wall.

But wow, all of it is marvelous. Just look at those glorious arches in the back! and the swirly walls of the cavern, the city, the highway with the tiny cars (is that a fluffy bunny vehicle?), so many details. :faint:

I think I'll be coming back to comment on this a few more times. In the meantime, this is going to my page! :+fav:
