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.

The snow hazes my mind and blurs my senses
Pure white fogs my vision...making the path unclear
I trip and stumble over the unseen obstacles
But you're always there to catch me...
To nurse me back to health when I'm hurt...

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?
