Description

this work is inspired partly by the bible's four horsemen of the apocalypse, but rivisited in an ecological way: what if Gaia spread around the world her own four "horsemen" to restore the equilibrium disrupted by years of exploitation of her resources?

this was the idea behind a serie of four drawing i wanted to draw.....
in future will come even the next three: air, water and fire.

photoshop 7 and wacom graphire (and a looot of hours

)
original size 4961x3508 px

P.S.
please, take a look at the larger version....

This is a fantastic image - you've established atmosphere so well, and put so much effort into attention to detail. I absolutely love the sense of majesty we get around the Earth lord, and how you've prtrayed his movements so well. I could almost be there!

An amazing landscape, too - beautiful work.

I think this is fantastic. Crit: I don't really care for the head, or more directly the top of the head. The sense of billowing in the snow in town is great! +6

It's a very strange and beautiful light in this piece. Very nice.

Interresting idea. Wish I will naver have similar experience like inhabitants of the village.

Image has little bit lack of perspective - especially in the village it is visible. On the other hand there is a lot of details. +7/10

Is this for the Eatpoo contest? If so, man you're fast!

Anyway, amazing picture, atmosphere is great. The grand scale is really... wow.

ehm nope..... for a curious coincidence, i've posted this image just one day before the announce of the eatpoo contest!

but i had this idea several months ago....

Robertmekis: you're right, my major fear when i was working on it was the lack of depth. in fact i was there to give up because i wasn't completely satisfied.....

anyway, thanks everyone for the nice comment
