Awesome!!!

Thank you very much!

Dayum.

I could see this as an album cover, or poster on my wall :3

hehe, thanks very much! I was indeed going for something graphic like that

And as you break through the thickets that see to tug at you for each step you take, there it appears. The silvery waters, flecked with the goldens ripples of the setting sun, cling softly the ruins of the ancient chapel. It's towers tilted as if still lamenting the loss of it purpose and its parishoners. There is no wind to speak of, but a fog is slowly settling upon the shores and waters of this most peaceful place. What stories lie in wait beneath the chill waves? What might be learned in the upturned mud or the silient vigil? Time will tell my friends... For time is all that is left to this enchanted area.

Very beautiful, I'm flattered that my picture would inspire you like that!

Hmmmm...New Years Day, 2013 after all the rukus of 2012 perhaps?

lol, ruckus. Putting it mildly. Possibly!

Well, we would certainly all have front row seats!

Absolutely fantastically gorgeous. I want to write stories about the setting this picture evokes!

Have you ever heard the Debussy piano work, "The Sunken Cathedral"?

Dominus tecum

Yep! Excellent catch there! That song has a lot of significance for me and is definitely represented in this piece.

It has special significance for me too. I've performed it on several occasions. It's probably my favorite piece to play.

Amazing representation. Wonderful job!

Dominus tecum

In one word : Fantastic.

Do you remember how many time (days?) it took to you making this ?

Thank you very much! It took a while; if I recall correctly, about three or four days of work work work.

Awesome! :D

Thank you very much!

Somebody pointed me your way because of name similarity, and boy, am I glad they did- You draw some absolutely wonderful scenes. :D

Hehe, another corvid! Thank you very much!

Impressive work, especially in the use of light and shadow. Have you seen the "The Course of Empire" painting series by 19th-century artist Thomas Cole?

I had not until you suggested it! A brilliant piece of work, I really appreciate the suggestion!

Have you ever played the game: Gothic?
There is a spot in the game that looks a great deal like this.

Your perspective, lighting and toning are excellent!
This is very well done.

Nice scene-scape. Just wish I could see more of the detail.

Again lovely scenery ;)

When I first came here, this was all swamp.
Everyone said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them.
It sank into the swamp.
So I built a second one.
That sank into the swamp.
So I built a third.
That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp.
But the fourth one stayed up!

oooo I'd love to explore those ruins~
