The first thing I see in this is two footballs trying to burst the back of the net! (OK, "soccer" balls). The spirals in them remind me of the marbles I had as a child. This is such a breathtaking image and I am in admiration of the mathematical precision of the net as it is distorted by the spheres. Wonderful!

What a great piece of digital art. Great colours, great composition, great concept. Love the design in the spheres. Like the concept of the sphere breaking though the net.

Great piece, thanks for sharing this, Mark

Comment from Angelheart The First


Great impact this one has.My first thought was a science fiction movie with a planet that has broken it's orbit and has to be stopped.Love the colors
and the technique produces a lot of movement.The work also has really good depth.
Good work!
Angelheart :)

Interesting design. Think about placing the smaller orb in front of the grid. My eye pulls it forward but the grid pushes it back; a bit incongruous. However, If you do that you'll need to adjust it's shadow.

    Thank you for taking the time to review this, Dara. But if I make the adjustments that you suggest, it would not convey the same message.

Now this is really something. There is a science fiction feel about it. Great design and the glow around the floating objects is fantastic. Like you are drifting out in space. Great job.

Comment from Anne


This looks like a scene from a sci-fi movie. The way you have done the words and then put the webbing that they can't get through is excellent. The detail, depth and coloring in this is awesome. A very interesting and creative work of art.

beautiful composition shawn. the reflectance is great and the warping of the grid really accentuates the sphere. it appears to be warping the space. well done
