Ouch, I live in Texas. I hope Topo dwells only in the sand and cannot break through the pavement and the walls of our buildings. This dust devil looks evil and very dangerous, especial on the pastel shades of the background. I am impressed by your digital collage. There are lots of small detail to discover which ignite the imagination of the viewer. The artwork is well composed and framed. Topo is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

    Actually he isn't evil in himself, though he can be manipulated by selfish masters -- he is more like a hapless jinn... some of his kind are known to come out of Texas oil wells, lol... again, not bad, just kind of like inter-dimensional alien spirits... Thank you for your very thoughtful review! Topo gets a good master eventually, so Texans are safe from him!

There are a lot of fine things in here, especially the yellow thin rays from the sun, the effect you put on the creature shaking his tail or coming from the earth, shaking off dust, and the frame like woven rope. Great imagination and creative.

So let me get this straight, or am I wishful thinking. The 2021 world champion hand ball player of the world is sort of a dust bunny, a dervish, a whirling one at that. and he lives in an abandoned gold mine out in the dessert with other dervishes. and you put a price on its hand. You have a refreshing imagination. Enjoy.

    I thought it was great, I enjoyed the story and there may be a bit of folklore to further your tale. Good luck. It was fun.

Very creative piece of art work here. Your story behind is also very creative. The creature reminds me of the H-Pylori that causes stomach ulcers in humans...perhaps that is my medical background intruding on my artistic side lol. I like the sun and its rays. The poster is well balanced.Framed by the rope really adds to the western theme. Well done, best of luck in the contest

    Goodness, those H-Pylori are rather unpleasant looking things aren't they... Thank you very much for your very complimentary review!

    Thank you for calling it stunning, though it is supposed to be surrealistic and perhaps a bit silly!...
