Description
I wake from the dream that plagues my sleep. My beautiful Tara sleeps next to me, oblivious to my thoughts.
They say knowledge is power, they say I have a gift.
I call it a curse.
In another time, they would call me prophetess, seer, or witch.
I see the true face of people around me, I see their deceits and fears, and I glimpse the path that lies ahead. This gift has weighed heavily on my life.
Surviving where others did not, eluding chance and danger with choices that I could not deny. I was dazzled because I saw the world too clearly.
Yet now I am blind. Now I only hear the voices, calling me from the void.
We sit on the edge of darkness, the last world before the Tiesian Gap, a rift so black and empty, even the most hardened fugitives will not go there.
If I close my eyes, I imagine I hear the icy winds blowing across my ship. The Thunderbolt creaks and groans as it sinks into the snow, weary of this quest as I am.
Perhaps it senses my blindness, senses that we may not return.
Tara

I like the atmosphere, and terrain, as well as the textures.
EXCELLENT render. love the terrain and her pale looking complextion, looks very cold. very well done.
Great work, the terrain is superb, and well complemented by the lighting composition and atmosphere
Hey, Mark, I was glad to find this image from you. I always enjoy your traveller stuff. Great image continuing the saga of your characters. I am so intrigued to find out what is going on with our captain. Keep posting. I love the story and the great images you are doing to illustrate it. Nice job on this one! I look forward to the next. Blessings!
Powerful man, a beautiful story with intreging characters...;)
Very interesting work!
Absolutely brilliant work. Your terrains are always detailed and crisp. I love the pano view and atmosphere. V
You gotta know I like this! Keep'em coming. Excellent.
Wow. Fantastic render. Everything meshes together so well to create that air of realism. The terrain, the figure, the ship, they're all consistent. Beautiful work.
this is a great series ! (but uuum... that was not a good landing ?)
Very owesome details. The mountain rock textures are just amazing, the light work is owesome, and the ship is very detailed and amazing. Very nice work, very nice. -v-
Your stuff is fantastic. Like a masters painted canvas where every brushstroke is necessary and precise. Your pics have that quality. Love em
Mr. Hirst, You keep me in awe with this stuff. Rhand and her crews situation has become apart of my normal enjoyments like eating, boozing, loafing and @*#$! LOL! As alwasy, great job! VOTE You need your own TV show for this stuff.
Brilliant work again Mark. The background is awesome as is the whole image. Love it! V
Excellent character, terrains and modeling/texturing! The lighting and atmosphere give a sense of real cold.
Great terrain and render!
Excellent workk!
Wonderfully bleak and cold, the landscape's uninviting too lol. A wonderful image!
Super story and excellent image - very bleak; fantastic shadows on the sand!!
Your stuff is just amazing !!! Any tips for a newbie ?
Very nice work. Watch out for the shadows. . .that sharp shadow makes the background ship look small. Big things cast soft shadows
great composition, but perhaps there is a scale problem between the mountain and the ship ?
