I think I drove past this place in Nevada. Just kidding but some places in that state and Arizona make me think I'm on the moon or Mars, it's so desolate and dry compared to where I live on the Canadian Prairies.

In any case the composition is great the colors and lighting are perfect and give an eerie sense. I'm enjoying your work very much.

    Thank you, Trailblazer. You are the first one who sees this as I meant it to be. Alien...as in remote, not science fiction. I thank you. Thank you also for the excellent rating and your wonderful comments.
Comment from Gregory Odd


very cool piece. like the apocalyptic feel it creates...nice use of color and contrast. feels like something out of a fantasy novel or a mad max movie maybe. well done!

Really like the lighting in this one. Makes it look like it could be in outer space somewhere. Landscape is very welldone. Love the reddish tones. Even with limited color pallette,this works very well. Good impact.

This is so lovely. Your digital painting for this is very good. I like the tonal quality and the presentation here. Great job with the PSP programs!

This is nice poster art. I can almost feel the story coming out of it. The sun or moon, I am not sure which it is supposed to be, draws the attention away from the rest of the picture. It is an interesting technique, but would be a little better if it was lighter. It is difficult to discern the detail in the uppper right area.

This is awesome the way you have done it. You really do some amazing work. The coloring and the depth in this are excellent. I really like the way you have the moon and the light coming from it. The detail is stunning in this. A very creative and interesting work of art.

Wonderful texture built into this. I like how simple you've kept the pallat, who know how many colors would exist on a place other than earth? Moon glow is perfect and I like the way it lights the landscape.

Great textural enhancement with the neat impressive tonal blending that bring out the graceful light effects from the extraordinary fancy overview and mysterious enjoyment.

Moonwillow, I really like the tone of this. The color hue is fantastic and so indicative of an alien landscape. You can just really believe that some fearsome creature is about to pop up from behind that bush. This would be really good illustration for a sifi movie. You need to check that out, Diane

    Moonwillow I was really serious about the SciFi Movie thing. I think this would be great promotional material. Diane

    I wouldn't know the first thing on how to go about that, Diane, but it would be a super idea. :))

Really nicely done, the barrenness, dry lifelessness felt looking at this world, but so beautiful on it's own way I really like the old cracked effect you used, Red and alien really nicely done
