man the story brings me chills and thrills so to speak,very very deep indeed,and it goes with my vision that quite a lot of assholes are in for a suprise when they arrive on the other side,they will be seen as they are,nekkeid,dirty,rotten.
Sorry for not reading your story Seth, but your image is an amazing looking one!
fabulous, she is just gorgeous, fantastic lighting
There seems to be a hint of sadness in those eyes, a very nice portrayal, Seth!
Brilliant work, Seth~ So beautifully written as well as expressed through your images~ I can't put it better than Lenord and Daggerwildo have here; the ending gave me chills and much to think about. It also reminded me of a concept which I had come across while researching Buddhism a while back~ the belief that everything is temporary, which, in times of trouble, can be quite a comforting perception of reality. Thank you for sharing this intense and rich story with us =)
Before I even read what you've written.... this is just such a marvelous image that tells such a story... Exceptional posing and light. So much drama and emotion you convey in this one. Beautiful art!! Now back to that story...
Such a superb render and writen story Seth, excellent work.
GORGEOUSSSS
Great piece of work. Thanks for sharing...
A very good story and so are these illustrated images,you must let it print in bookform and sell it in bookstores.It's worth to try it! A great job my friend! Gr.Rudy.
Once consciousness has been aroused, it is important to rise to a new level. I get out and live my own life or I'll stay in the bubble and vegetate in front of me? The decision should not be difficult. Not Give up hope, baby!!
Wonderful story and exquisite picture! I love her expression!
Well told. The parallel and metaphor is obvious to the world's current situation. Perhaps we can still save ourselves if everyone forgoes the illusion and decides reality is worth saving. Excellent image. The timekeeper seems separate from the rest because of the window as a barrier. She looks like she's observing a sinking vessel with no power to save anyone. Great work, story and images.
Your story really got me thinking and ranting in my head. Loved it Seth and this is a fitting image to end with.
It took a while to go through the story and I have to say it is truly very haunting and actually quite sadly ominous. Have you considered publishing it in an e-version>? The look on her face, as the time is near.. very sad, very wistful. Beautifully done all around. 10+/Fav'd HugZ! Ariana
Excellent image and thought provoking story!!! Kind of reminds me of politics nowdays.
Great image, the pose and expressions are awesome. A fav !
Very cool work...the atmosphere is outstanding!!!
Excellent Image and Work
Very impressive work, both the tale and the pic!!
i was really drawn in by your thought provoking story...wonder how many truly understand the underlying meaning...one point caught my eye--that to exist something must be observed...reminds me of a point in quark physics theory--observing something actually changes it...now wrap your head around that :D...also enjoyed your artwork and how each image enhanced your story's chapter.
Wow Seth! What a great story and wonderful renders for illustration! Interesting thoughts and concepts in there. And a beautiful character and setting in the images. I´d like ro se more of this kind from you :-) And sorry I didn´t comment before. Every day life had eaten all of my time. Maybe I sould pay your time keeper a visit ;-)
Beautiful render and composition, Seth. Love the behind window portraying. Not much time at the moment. So i gotta read it at some point in September :) Still busy doing web-shop and other real life stuff+5
Well done, I wanted to take pause on my comments but it has been long enough, and I have read it a few more times through. I do like the two statements, time cannot be measured and to be real something must be observed - leading to the logical conclusion that time is not real. That is well done. I especially like this view. It leaves one to ponder what the Timekeeper is seeing as the real world unfolds to her. You did yourself proud on this series.
Nicely written... very interesting. Time is, indeed, an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so! :) Great imgage again. Good job on capturing the mood.
Excellent render . Your beauty looks so hot.
Very nice image and mood! Gorgeous work!!
Quite a remarkable story and a fascinating image to enhance it, wish I had more time to be so creative, great work my friend!
Great story and excellently written!! And your images during this awesome travel have been GREAT!!!! :o)
I "stole" some time to read the end of your tale. Because of my poor English it was difficult for me to understand everything and it took some time... but it was worth it. Your tale is both fascinating (because of your writing style) and disturbing because you perfectly describe the world we are living in. It's the sad and terrible reality. Your image is perfect and very touching. She looks so sad and forsaken. Thank you for this fantastic story and it's illustration.
