Surrounded by mountains, the waters of an evening sea, a delicate sunset and the activity of a large city; An ancient temple stands high, dwarfed by life and framed in nature.
This piece was created in Photoshop CS and a Wacom Intous 2 tablet.
That's amazing. I wish I had enough patience to put that much work into something. Gret job on the details and everything. Just simply a wow piece.

Well well well Mr Tonge, you inspire again! hehe, Once again Gary you have published an artwork capable of taking the breath away from any sentient being, there is a certain amount of depth yet soft underlay in the image that makes you appreciate the craftsmanship involved, it makes you ponder its creation, you definitely did a great job at illustrating this clarity & contrast.
Another thing that really catches my attention is your use of colour; you use the great 'classic' feeling of your images, the variations of warm tone mixed with the soft cool colours, in overall the impression is fairly warm & cosy but with a great mix of colour, something i admire in your art.
I also love the use of lighting, & the oh so Gary Tonge stylised architectures & landscape designs, i love how everything reflects; the wispy, soft clouds reflect the luminescence of the sun, the buildings shine a golden glow that makes you feel the heat, the pinacle like structures & landscapes give a sense of advanced civilisation yet at the same time a ravaged worn & dangerous world, the buildings make you feel like a beast has been tamed but is still existent to extent.
The lighting, the ships, the gradientations & texture, i personally cant help but wonder how you execute them so well, i cant help but ask, something i always have trouble with is composition; mainly in large canvases such as the one you stated for your image: '4600x3500', what i wish to ask is how you create the overall composition so that you can then work on all the detailing? If its a sketch i ask how you convey it to that immense size while keeping the scale of perspectives/composition, just wondering!
In overall i believe the image seems to give a view of feelings related to taming a world; places can exist in the most strangest of locations, it also shows a sense of mystery & the warmth seems to counteract like a layer above the shrouded mysteries.
Once again you impress me & everyone else, Many thumbs up for the good work! :thumbup: Look forward to your future endeavors!
