how different perceptions may be
Its not like i myself know what exactly is/was going on there. But when i finished image, my assessment of what
had come to light on screen was nowhere near your description, which added fun to read it even more.
My first 'mechanical' interpretation was probably slightly cliche - that it is sort of a cave, a labyrinth, with this
blue-walled dome being some kind of structure inside it. And a character founds an entryway into it but since its
physical oddness it can't occur to him whether it is an exit (since light comes from it as if from outside), or an
entrance into somewhere. And yes, about sun, rays and yellow part in back - i had a feeling that those had to
do something with a sort of a mixture of sun rays actually breaking through a black-with-holes either wall, or
something like a formed from dead trees a labyrinth wall, a barrier.
As for cliche stuff - eeehhhh, probably even if one forces himself, he may think he start to see some gnome,troll like
creature in dress next to right from character. But it was not an intent.
About crystals - ..... when i launched verve, at some point initial thought randomly came that i will make ice cubes,
so everything started exactly with bright blue-white color and efforts to paint something like caustics, refraction,
and then i went crazy with brush,layer settings and params and we got what we see.
So you see, Taron. You helped this image's description get out of cliche world of fantasy. I must say that i personally
find fantasy, all those elfs and trolls soooo boring,depressing, beaten to death to my mind nowadays. So after i
finished i was left wondering to myself - how did i myself ended up with almost one
I liked how you twisted spacial perception of this image. Your interpretation outsmarted the drawing author's perception.
