Artist's Comments

A blustered man stands planted and looks to the sky. Behind the glowing moon his mind pours fourth visions of radiating clouds, swirling with colour and promising new life to the stars growing within that will soon twinkle and illuminate their surroundings. Thick belts of asteroids and galaxies churn their way through the depths of space surrounded by magestic planets grasping onto their children while they hover suspended by forces unimaginable. Through all these fantasies the man is reminded of his own insignificance and wonders if ever he will escape the bonds holding him in his place.

Ive poured 2 weeks into this piece and its really nice to see it completed. It started with and idea that I threw into concept stages and carried right through to this finished product that I am really happy with. Working alot with my colour schematic, lighting and overall communicational theories and practices. No resources used...yes I did make the house -.- Used a huge amount of different programs and techniques...from photo maniping myself in to the piece to digitally painting the nebula to modelling the house...not much else to say but except I really hope you pick up the feel and enjoy as much as I do.


// Details

Programs:
Photoshop 7.0
3D Studio Max 4.0
Vue D'esprit 4 Pro
PhotoImpact 8
(My digital Cam..Oympus c-60)

Time Estimation:
30 hours

**edit** It seemed almost everyone took note of the compositional barriers produced by the 50% sized version I threw up...this is a vast project with many elements and at that size the composition appeared to "cluttered". Therefore this is a ~2/3s size and is quite a bit bigger. I think now the different elements can truly be appreciated (with alot of scrolling -.-) ..Id love to hear your feedback now!

**UPDATE** Prints now are now up on DA, as you can see I got myself a prints account finally, if any of you are interested and have any issues with prices feel more than welcome to mention them to me. Also thank you all for the heaps of comments you've left for me, all I can say is Im glad that you all enjoyed it so much, in the future feel free however to leave any critiques at all that you have, all it does is help me see what needs improving. Keep at it all and get all the expression and enjoyment out of art that it has to offer :p

The heavens and earth meet. Reverie by ~genocide-54 combines a vast array of technique. If you like a sci-fi or rendered scene the combination of both as seen here will turn your head. (Featured by `voodoo-prophet)

OK i have to comment twice.

I think you really captured the way you described his characters feelings. The way he feels is displayed to perfectly with the absolutly beutifull space. i love how its so unreal, and yet its exactly how an imagination would see it... brilliant. i love it!

this is perfect, combines colour, artistic license, magic, style, composition, detail, light. I love it, definately on of my favourite pieces here on DA.

......artistic flair and style are things that must be explored, not learnt.

It is indeed amzaing but I thinkit's way to busy. I like the combination of that house and the space art but all those rocks planet's and lights make me dizzy. Good work though!

Very nice, I really love the nebulas, they have so much depth. I don't know why you put little galaxies though, since it wouldn't be realistic, but they look great. The composition and whole idea behind this is splendid. +fav

Thnx buddy, glad you noticed the detail...the print size has twice as much ^_^

Yea the problem is that when the image is shrunk down you begin to see way to many of the elements present at once and therefore it looks busy, full-sized focus is put much more on the seperate elements instead of all at once...Im gonna make some WPs outta this one too so you'll get what Im talking about (unless you buy the print when it comes out :p)

Yea I know those galaxies sorta hampered the realism but I was basically trying to cover as many celestial elements as I could and make 'em look good together.
