Description
Time had indeed slowed... but, that hadn't stopped the erosion , it had only prolonged the destruction.
It wasn't time that had caused the world to rust and crumble. The actions of the beings who inhabited the planet, all planets for that matter, that brought about the demise of each of their worlds, one after another. They fell apart, each of them, due to neglect. Each worlds' species, after some promising evolutionary changes, had grown arrogant and proud, filled with selfishness they disregarded the very thing that allowed them to live. Rather than nurturing their mother planets, they ripped and tore and raped the lands, taking what they wanted without thought to how it was torturing and wounding the mother who gave them life.
The TimeKeeper could no longer sit upon her clock throne, instead she perched at it's feet... thinking, trying her best to come up with a plan to stop the madness. But, she was merely a watcher, a tender to the clockworks and her precious hourglass. What could she possibly do to bring an end to the insanity of men?
The hands of the great clock moved slowly... ages would pass before each tick of the clock. To her only moments passed while on the planet below entire generations came and went as quickly as a breath. Midnight approaches...

Impressionante meu amigo, uma história magnifica com uma arte soberba, fabuloso, aplausos (5)
Really nice pose. Nice job presenting your message/concept. The textures are wonderful as always:) As a critique; I would like to see the strands of hair from her forehead falling in front of her face rather than defying gravity. Wonderful job Barry!

Great elements and character tell us the narrative visually while the words speak volumes. 'Tick-Tock' went time.
