Description

Please watch full size, some details are hardly visible otherwise. City lights in the moon... why not? Just give it time. I imagined that the organization of the cities there would take advantage of the craters and therefore would be vaguely based on circular shapes. I know it's debatable... but I also wanted circular shapes there for symbolic reasons, continue reading. This moon was going to be just a detail in another image that I've been on and off preparing in the last few days. But I realized that this moon had a life of its own, it couldn't just be a detail somewhere. Thinking about what should be the companion of this moon, it became obvious that I needed a feminine form. So, I tried to create a composition where the moon and the feminine form complemented each other. Both are partly in light, partly in darkness, both have round smooth shapes and they are connected by her arm and by the bridge/arch in the moon. By making the woman support her weight on one foot, I made her hip more prominent so that it could vaguely resemble the shape of a moon when hit by the light. Thoughts of the 'sacred feminin' did cross my mind when creating this composition. I hope you enjoy watching.

Truly exceptional....I like the thought you put into about using the craters as part of city design, and thusly shaping them circularly around them....great job!
