XOT......always on the run.....waiting for that robotic hand to land on a shoulder.... Meanwhile..... "Do you think XOT got away?" "They say it happened." "But is XOT alive?" "Who knows, what I want is the bed that's left behind." "And the boots?" "Worn out, like the rest of XOT. You can have them." "What about XOT's renders?" "Throw them out, nobody's interested in seeing them." "All that time, effort, and pain." "I just hope that bed's not worn out." "I wonder if those boots will fit me?" ------------------------------------------ BIO REAL artist username = XOT Often, when I visit a bookstore I'm not so much interested in the books themselves but more the cover art. :-) -- So if my artwork gravitates towards that kind of look then you know why. I like to just 'play' with whatever it is I'm doing and let it evolve from that rather than set out and do something that's planned out.....and never hold me to a deadline either. Most of the time these days I find that my energy levels and duration of time that I can spend on any one thing is much more limited due to health so it's usually a race as to finishing any one project or have pain overcome me. - It's not a unique situation. In fact many people here & everywhere are quite similar in that regard and use the pastime of doing artwork for relaxation, distraction, and expression. When all is said and done though it's just a hobby. - One that involves being cordial and friendly to others, being helpful, having a laugh at oneself and perhaps learning something on the way. I'm a private person with a multitude of pseudonyms. Don't be suprised if you come across me elsewhere....or not. - Perhaps last seen in various places as ZOT, XOTT, and XOTT. :-P Like most people here I welcome friendly comments on the images I make and it's always nice to know I've made somebody's life a little more enjoyable even if just for a few seconds. - So thanks for the comments because they're always appreciated. :-) Last edited: Wednesday-9-January-2007

very nice image, love the minimal colours, think it evokes the scifi covers you are talking about really well
grafikeer
Excellent image and overall concept..for me,the posing of the figures does not represent cold.I would imagine them in more of a hunched up,knees to chest,head in knees kind of pose if it was very cold and there is no apparent heat source to keep them warm. Of course,that is assuming that they are human and not android,in which case all comments mentioned would not apply!

cool

Very cool render. Nice snow effects. I agree with grafikeer on the posing. They look more like they're on a beach than someplace with deep cold. Nailed the setting, though!

Actually my thoughts were that they seeking sanctuary and warmth in front of the fire from the wreckage (a leaking flammable liquid?) and that whilst it was really hot (enough to keep well away back from and still feel the heat), it was melting through the snow there but soon enough it would die out....much like they might very well soon afterwards in the chilling cold. - Hence the forlorn attitudes. -- But hey, they were just my own thoughts. :-) -- Thanks everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed the image and yes, I was deliberately keeping colours down. - One of the qualities of book cover art was that they had to be muted enough not to drown out the titles and cover text, but also to leave enough space for the publishers to add them over/around any cover art image. - Look at the great book cover art of time past and you'll see what I mean when you see them as posters etc without any text. There's a lot of blank space there or stuff that can be covered up despite the artist doing all that hard work. - Another great aspect of book cover art was those pieces that had more of the scene wrapped from the cover, around the spine, and to the rear cover so when you opened up the book to face you (not breaking the spine of course...that's book sacrilege!), you'd see an entire scene. :-)
