Description
This little number hogged my PC for over 12 hours... There are characters in the landscape, but they're invisible or hiding right now, so I thought I'd show you the landscape before they came through (I probably won't get back there for a while - and anything that takes over my PC for that long is jolly well going on display... :o)
Vue 7 Infinite, some colour balancing and signature in PSP.

Incredible atmosphere. I love how the mountain range fades off into the distance just like the trips I remember. Excellent Vue work.

I wondered about the name until I clearly saw the trees and then, yes, that is just so great. It is a perfect landscape for these magestic beasts. Lighting is just perfect; storms are not all that common where they live but when they occur they can be wicked, as you here show.

I'm just walking back into your gallery, not because your current work isn't equally compelling (it is!), but because I just wanted to start seeing all that you've posted in the last almost-2 years. You started posting a week or so after I came here (though I didn't post till 3 months later...I commented a while first). This is beautiful, and has a wide deep sweep to it. I know that Vue allows for many things, but this kind of sweep & plunge simply has to come from inside the artist. The landscape heaves and flies upwards, and has harsh lines & rounded lines; and for all its bleak hues & textures, it has a primal force and early morning beauty that feels like life is about to come out of it. (Maybe it's those characters hidden inside it, which we haven't seen yet, in this image at least...) You have a strong separation between peaks and clouds, where a kind of light-under-the- 'ceiling' dwells & casts diffuse rays that cut across the mountains. And then the clouds loom like mountains in the sky, and you have that heavy dark band atop, as if the sky were doing its own ground & sky thing (parallel to the ground's). And the clouds' billows have a tactile feel to them, as if they were solid as well. I can see you put a lot of thought into this. Sweeping, complex, plunging and powerful, and beautiful as well. I wonder if, as a scientist, you bring your overview into play as you make these visions; or if it's wholly an intuitive affair. (It's probably a melange of all those forces.) Happy New Year Craig, and I wish you great illumination in 2010, for you and all your loved ones. This is a beautiful image, I'm glad I found it.
