This was the piece that the fake account received a Daily Deviation "award" for. I wonder if they'll do it again for this real one? =]

At any rate, it would deserve one, certainly. This is excellent work. I like the extreme perspective, and the distant landscape below. The base of the mountain is my favorite part.

You ought to have some sort of friggin' award for this dude, it's my favourite piece of yours entirely, for a variety of reasons. First, whilst i use to browse solar voyager forums i believe you wrote a bit on the creation of this particular piece in the forum interview style thing you were doing. That's the first thing that impressed me, the lengths you went to creation and how you thought about it. Not enough artists put work into the preprocessing of art to make the result as stunning as it potentially could be. Bull in china shop attitudes are too common these days.

Second is the diversity. Whilst in most of your pieces you capture stunning atmospheric scenes with thrilling skyscapes and fantastic futuristic architecture, this is something different, yet done to the same degree of meticulous detail and quality as all other pieces. Most artists choose to pick a style and stick, diversity is a rare jem quality of an artist.

Thirdly, the concept. Now i'm guessing this probably became part of the pre processing, but once again, something most people simply don't do because they don't necessarily see the beauty of sitting down and just having a think of why they're creating what they're creating. I've been going into concepts myself more recently as my art as improved, it definitely captures a good emotive aspect to the piece.

Last but certainely not least is just the sheer detail and look of the piece. I mean just look at it. From perspective, to depth, to the lighting on the hands, to attention to the tiny things that just top it off well (such as the necklace and the stunning eyes). It's simply one of the finest pieces I've laid eyes on for all the right reasons.

Needless to say, keep it up, that's beyond incredible.
