Description
Some mornings just never go right. Shortly after she set out, Rudi's truck motor blew as she topped a low rise. Rudi had been expecting it; the motor had been acting up for several days. Her attempt to cross the country, following one of the old highways, had ended on the twenty-third day out. Repair was not an option. It was arrid country void of any communities or even single habitations. She regretted having to abandon the truck and all her meager possessions. It was a long walk back to the west coast. Reluctantly, she gathered what she would need; bedroll, provisions, water. Finished, she shouldered the backpack and resolutely started walking.

I expect I ought to have given her a weapon, too. Think she's gonna need it.
I was trying for a "dusty dawn" effect. How did I do?
Thanks for stopping by.

Excellent scene my friend! It definitely lools like a dusty morning you might add a pale sun in postwork. btw: Rudi is a very strange name for that woman ;)
awesome scene! this seems to happen in any time period ;-)
Once again you delight us with both an intriguing storyline as well as accompanying illustration! Great job!
This is wonderful, the fog effect is perfect.
Very nice!!! whose to say she doesnt have a knife in her boot(these are dangerous times) or a small pistol behind her?
Very nice scene! Makes we wonder why she was attempting to cross the country, though... Because it's there?
Okay, this is a post-apocalyptic scene. She wants to cross partly to see what has happened across the country. She is actually on a paved, although very cracked concrete highway. Hard to tell because the weeds, shade, and dust tend to obscure it. She's doing it because nobody has, as far as she knows, since a small comet hit the Earth a hundred years earlier.
Well, if your out to get me all depressed and all, you did a might fine job (lol) The Image is excellently done, the poor girl looks so frail alone in the wilderness that once was a busy area, Wow, how depressing, But shes not really alone, theres the Cameraman who made the Shot ( hehe ) Great Scene !!!
You did good! Spunky gal will make it for sure! Nicely composed and perfect atmosphere!
The haze adds a lot to the mood of the picture though i miss some richness in the textures
Well done Jeremy!
Fantastic scene, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those vehicle break down in the middle of nowhere are a pain! Excellent image!
Very good, like the foggy effect, dust might have been more to the brown, but very well done.
did a very good job here and story too
I like this one very much, especially the haziness....
You did very well I'd say. Although her eyes seem a bit undefined imho. The haziness is brilliant as is the story.
