Monolithic Sentinelsby ~dylanxedge

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Space Art

It's hard for me to explain the significance this piece has to my progressing as an artist, but hopefully you can just take one good look at it and tell. This piece is 99% hand painted with my trackball mouse.. The 1% is a reference photo I used of clouds for the base of the nebula plane, just so I could get the right perspective. Everything your looking at is painted by me. I truly love this piece more so than my other works, but lemme tell ya.. I never want to paint with a trackball again as long as I live

The inspiration for this piece stemmed from me thinking of a "Nebula Plane".. A Nebula that literally sits on a plane, rather than just a cloud of gases. So I did my best to portray what I had in my head. But more than just a nebula, I wanted to paint something that people can look at for hours, and get lost in. I want people to render a 3d image of this in their own minds, and see all the little caves and crevices that exist in these spires. Also, there is a much deeper image here than what your actually looking at. I would love if someone could figure it out.

Thank you SO much
