Monolithby *Phoenix-06

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Sci-Fi

A print of this painting can be bought here [link]

The Monolith was found in a system far from the system of Fractured Tranquility and is thought to be where the crystal formation originated. This is the most impressive example of the destructive capabilities of the crystal when exposed to extreme heat sources. This shows the crystal forming directly of the semi-molten core of a planet which has been broken into several pieces and impaled by the growing crystals. Its believed this formation took several decades to get this far and is the primary system for research into this new threat.
----------------------------

I have recently become quite unhappy with some of my works, mainly the backgrounds, unimaginative and bland I'd call them, mainly as I get rather lazy once the main foreground is complete and I don't really plan anything for the background unless its the focal point. So this time I have spent almost as much time on the background as the foreground and I believe it's payed off.

I hope you enjoy this piece.

DETAILS:
Time: approx 15 hours over 4 days
Resolution: 5500x8780 (very random)
Layers: approx 200
DPI: 300

Bloody hell, thats amazing. Im not too keen on how the planet has split like a rapid brittle fracture with the straight edges, but maybe thats what your trying to get across? Or maybe im just trying to be an engineering smartarse.

Looks friggin cool regardless, Makes me want to play a game where this appears and that means mission sucess!

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
