hmm....I wonder what the next theme will be....Anyways I get the feeling that there will be at least two mazzelhs and maybe one dragon for some reason.Anyways I'm no psychic so I shall wait and see.

Spoiler!!

Holy crap, that nearly blew me away. Your early morning clouds are so...beautiful.

If I may, if it's possible, I would get rid of the saturated yellow highlight streaks on the sun and lengthen the lighter streaks to go for the lens flare effect...that would make it look more realistic. I also assume you're going to put in some highlights on the blades of grass and the trees?

It's such a pity you can't win this week! xD

Heh, I know the sub is fail right now, I\\m actually planning on doing what you suggested. :P
And yep to the highlight thing as well. Also gonna add a tiny bit of highlight to the hills. And texture to the leafs in the foreground if I'm not too lazy.

I'm just happy about the theme being something that really inspires me. I think I could come up with ten potentially awesome ideas. So I'm just happy to participate again. Hurray for that~
plus, there's always honorary mentions, right?

... In case somebody is confused by the amount of typos in that post, it's because my keyboard have decided to pretend it's English (instead of Danish) and I forget to proofread at 5am... Sorry.

ugh, this week is really drulling on, can't tell when the new contest is gonna begin! . . . .there's actually some uh. . . .things in my pic SYMBOLIC! that's the word! Symbolic things in my pic, it mizes modern, future, and primal things inside the earth. It shows how technology and modernizing can both strenghthen and destroy the regular nature of the primal instincts some of us know and love. That is the moral of my pic.

OMG HE WON! I have been flipping all night in boarding watching everything live. Amazing...

Anyways. Man that is one jaw dropping picture, it entices me to learn to paint so well, to say the least. My hat goes off to you Zophia, heck so does my entire outfit if that can be seen as a compliment to the maximum. :P

Way to be off-topic Klaus.

And way to be thoroughly disturbing when you're on-topic.

Lulzes~
And more lulzes at Strop's reply.

That picture feels like such a project... In a good way.
Take a look at the sky now, Strop:

Looks better, no? Not sure I'm done working on the sun, I'm just not sure what to do to it either...
And mwahaha for cropping and invisibilizing the wildlife out of the preview. Mwahaha.

Both of them are previews of my entry. Just want people to anticipate it... Or something...

@Cenere:
Nice fur effect on that. Looking forward to the finished version.

hey Zophia in that second picture....Why is the moon and the sun on the same horizon?I just noticed that,but seriously were they supposed to be right next to each other?Anyways Cenere yours looks like a preview for a preview.It feels too incomplete for me,for some reason.I like it so far,but it looks almost like a random photo shopped picture with an unfitting background.So I will wait until its done,with a complete background and such.(I don't like previews all too much if you haven't noticed,unless they are complete in some way)
