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! :)

Capital Cavern by ~Bakenius

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 *AniaMohrbacher and Featured by `voodoo-prophet )

...What I love about this? It's recognizably the same fantasy city, but much farther in the future. Beautiful and creative. Very, VERY well done.

Would you mind if I possibly used this city as the setting for a story. I've been lacking in things to write about lately and it is truly driving me insane, but this really inspired me and I would love to have your permission to use this in a story of mine.

This remains one of the most impressive pieces I have ever seen.
Every time I look at it, immediate trip to another place another time....
You can't beat this, this one is for the ages!

How about some more?
