Description
For my good friend Seth - a man who both loves and respects the dark side - as I do. Seth unflinchingly explores the dark depths of human existence and in the process he bares his soul for all of us to see. For Seth understands that to know the light one must be able to fearlessly step into the dark. Blessed be my beloved friend, you are a great man.
Seth I've been waiting a long time to do this piece for you and with CS4 finally in my hands I now have the tools and perhaps just enough skill to take the plunge and do it. The poem just flowed from the composition as I created it. I hope you like it.
When smoke and lightning choke the air
Face your fears if you dare
Upon this ground you must tread
Though your heart be full of dread
If you want to learn to fly
Then you must be there to die
For if you cannot face your fears
You will live a life of tears
Stone glade in oaken wood,
The earth awaits you as it should.
Put metal sword in warrior's hand
Hear the wind -- take your stand

WOW! What a powerful and moody piece Roxy! I just love the posing and expression - she has a mixture of sadness and fear - and power. She looks poised to get up and stride into the chaos. GREAT job, love it!
Amazing image, full of emotion and strength. Great title too!
A touching and beautiful image!
There is a lot of feeling in that picture.
Beautiful render. I just love it.

Oh, I love her expression. There can be no courage without fear! She looks so alone and so frightened, but I get the feeling she'll fight valiantly. Nicely done.

Beautiful pose and expression....fantastic render..!!!!
Excellent scene!!
Wow, wow, wow! This is wonderful work, Roxy. The fear on her face is gut-wrenching, and that pose is perfect! The background and post-work are really outstanding as well. Quality does not come from tools, but from the hand that wields them. Your poem is also powerful, and perfectly complements the image. This image is so powerful it actually gave me flashbacks. As good as your work is, I think this is the best yet. Bravo! "Courage is not a lack of fear. It is triumph over fear." "To appreciate Heaven you must first know Hell."
You really know how to set a scene, the fiery sky and lightning add drama but it's the pose and expression that really breathe life into it. Great job!
