Comment from Farmboy


It's actually beautiful with the deep reds at the bottom and then the yellow-green at the top. The shapes (the wall in silhouette and buildings some how illuminated) has a kind of modern mixed with ancient feeling. Actually the first thing it made me think of the Christmas, that is, Jerusalem at the time of Christ, but then we have all these extra planets in the sky.
I guess even if you put another story to it we will always relate what we see to things we already know even if the comparison is totally wrong.

    You know, Farmboy, that's why I really don't like writing anything regarding a painting. I like to hear what it means to others, and everyone sees something different. But there are some reviewers who will give a low rating if nothing is written, which to me has nothing to do with the art itself :) I thank you so very very much for the super review. I really appreciate it :) Shawn

Comment from bunkie


Enjoy your composition with colors and crypts so surreal. Like the back shadows that sort of belays the fact that who ever they are, they are still lying cold in their tombs,LOL. Excellent work with your diminutive program and the blue earth makes one feel far away and very tiny. This is Excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Snopaw


This is a very other worldly looking creation Shawn. It looks like anadvertisement for a Sci Fi Movie where the other planets are coming too close and you have the priest praying for our salvation lol. Nicely done!

Nice creative thought. I like the play on the colors and how the blue stands out boldly. Nice use of space. Nice balance between light and dark. Nice digital Painting.

Comment from PhotoTherapy


Your artwork is always very enticing--even this graveyard scene. I don't know what the difference is between photoshop and paintshop, but whatever you're doing--it's working:).

Love the sky the best, especially with that solitary star--and the colour of it is beautiful. You've got quite the imagination.

Comment from Maszrum


That came out very nice. It's simple but at the same time very interesting and well done. I like the colors and architecture. Sky with all those planets looks really good. I see few faults in blending here and there but they aren't major. Good job. Thank you for sharing. =)

Comment from Emerald Cloud


Nice idea, color and composition! On an alien planet where the stars seem so close that they seem to float like ghostly beings in the a mysterious sunset. Dark outlines of the strange structures slice the sky.The central blue glow catch my eye and contrast as well as balances the whole picture. Thanks for sharing!
