Description


A lone Astronaut confronts the fierce winds and fine sands of a major Martian dust storm. I seem to return to this theme regularly- I have no idea why, other than its a very visual embodyment of the "man against nature" theme present in all tales of exploration.... The landscape and astronaut were modeled and rendered in Lightwave 7.5. The sandstorm and depth of field effect were executed in Photoshop CS. Thanks for looking!

Impressive!! Esas rocas son identicas a las que hay en marte de verdad. Me gusta el Detalle de la Tp en la Roca!!. El color de la atmosfera es excelente y estan bien combinados los elementos 2D con los 3D. Me alegro de haber Visitado tu Galeria. Buena Suerte V

When a single frame tells such a powerful story, that's testiment to the artist's ability to bring the viewer into their concept and vision. Bravo, and an excellent image.

Love the dust storm effect in the background. Astronaut is well modelled. Fabulously done!

Simple, yes, but the thumb drew me in because of that "golden age" spirit which I think comes down to that spirit of exploration. Whether its Mars or someplace closer to home the image of an individual out there on the edge is compelling. Nice LW modelling and rendering. Storm looks great.

Great surface and dust storm cloulds. The composition leaves me a bit claustrophobic, which may be the point.

Beautifully done image, I'd scream "Run!" But I don't suppose that'd help much. ^^
