Description
Please zoom for the full effect...!
Because of the limitations of file size with Renderosity uploads, it was impossible to see the detail of the Mage in my upload yesterday - so here s/he is in much greater detail.
Thanks for looking (again).

I'd already seen this, and yes, when we see it close up, we can see that that orb contains something quite star-like. It's almost like a cornea. And we can also see the dust flying off it, and swirling around the mage's face. The boat does show more detail, we see the slats, the rim, etc; and the flourish at top is clearly metal, with reflections---again, done with real panache and grace. And I liked that you didn't overpower the image in that dust, implying maybe that the mage must keep most of it contained (as it may be too powerful to let out into the world); and that you didn't show the mage's face, per se, either, but showed us the veil. I can't help but think of the discovery of atomic power earlier in the last century, and that it was contained in so infinitessimal a phenomenon, and yet was so powerful. I did my graduate work at U. of Chicago, where the atomic pile of the Manhattan Project was located; and, while there's a library there now, you can't help but feel that those scientists were like this mage, holding something small (metaphorically), seeing enormous potential in it, yet containing it so that it was unapproachable by anyone except those closest to the project. The orb and the veil are like the huge layers of that atomic pile. Protecting a massive energy. Anyway, I just wanted to add that to the last image...I'll move on...
