Description
As the ship soars into the clouds, so too do the ShadowWinds blow...Credendo Vides...By Believing One Sees, which is good advice for the artist in all of us. To see the world in a slightly different way...
Vue/Painter/Photoshop
As to the picture, I'd posted it up before for a short time with a day sky and fireworks, but I thought this one always looked better. It was rendered in Vue. The head was taken from the P4 Horse and merged into the Vue ship with a bit of postwork and the horn added. The clouds and other effects were done in Painter.

You will be missed ShadowWind! I wish you the best in your path. Great render as well. So long for now. Hugs...
I am sad to see you leave, but hope you will find the joy in life you are seaking! Best wishes to you, and thank you for sharing your beautiful works with us all.
Beautiful, dreamy image!! ;)
Although I havent known you long I will miss you too! ;( Have a beautiful journey, and I do hope to meet again sometime ;) Vickie-
Your 17th to 18th century ships and themes have been entertaining. I enjoyed once researching the constellation Papis or the poop deck in the Southern Hemisphere which is when Australia and New Zealand began to be settled and develop. Longitude and the development of the clock and watch mechanical movement to track equatorial distance occured then. Too much raving here , huh!!??
You have to do whatever you feel in your heart that is the best for you... I wish you all the best and will miss your beautiful images!

I will miss you, Shadow, I will miss your images of beauty and fantasy. But I wish you all the best in your journey:) So long for now, my friend:) Tommy
Excellent artwork!!!! You will be missed!!! Best wishes for your future journey and I hope to see you back here soon!!!
Dang, just when it was getting good. I understand now some of the hints that have been there for awhile, about pain as well as other distractions. i hope the pain goes, but also that you find a way to release creativity without the pain etc! but i can't offer you a solution. Wish i could, 'cos your art is really something special! i hope i'll be the last to forget and the first to welcome its reappearance. be sure to tell me if that happens, don't want to miss even a single one.
I hope you always know that sometimes with pain our gifts are given. Suffering does make for some beautiful creations. Surely nobody wants anyone to have to suffer..after all your images have brought us much joy. This one is beautiful, and I would say that even without your words it has a stong but divine sadness to it.. Like a Viking spirit resides aboard that ship.. a strong and convicted spirit. One with dignity and Grace..and I hope that spirit haunts us all.. now and again. HUGEST HUGS EVER!
As always, your true inner self shines through with the beauty of your art. May your troubles be swift and quickly forgotten. You will always have friends here. We will wait for you patiently, forever if that's what it takes.
You will be sorely missed as will your wonderful talent and art ...I hope that your journey is safe and full of happiness. Till Then.
I know how you feel, at least some what. You are a talented and popular artist. Some of us make images that only a few look at and even fewer like, but your work is so well loved and often very fulfilling to see. I hope everything works out for you and you can return soon. Best wishes, Chad.
Best wishes my friend, have a nice inner trip :D
Beautiful image and message. You will be sorely missed. Till our paths cross again one day... Godspeed, my friend.
May God Bless you ShadowWind as you succeed in life. This is a very beautiful image as a closing statement. Take care!
My dear friend I am sad to see you go.. But you must do what you feel you must..No doubt we will miss you and hope to see you back one of these days..
its sad to see you go your art and personality are beautiful but i do understand sometimes online life overtakes real life and it shouldnt be that way so i hope you find much happiness and joy and hope to see you again hugs
Shadow, sorry to be so late on this but I had to absorbe all this,Rosity will be lessened without your bueatiful art work we have all come to enjoy,I sincerly hope the issues you refered to are short term, and i hope they are not serious, you will be missed, and I hope you make it back soon................John

Fantastic modelling and great idea. It's a ShadowWind's world.
My heart is sad...for I will not see your wonderful works of art for...will who knows how long...but I do understand. It has taken me awhile to leave a comment for this very reason. Selfishly, I don't want to lose another dear friend on this Board, but because I care so much for you as a friend, I would consider nothing less than you should do what is necessary for you to do. I will always be here for you....don't forget that and maybe someday...if it feels right, I have hope to see you back here again with those of us who love and care for you deeply. Take care my dear friend!...Cheryl
oh dear.. hope you will be back one day.. though I do understand what you do mean here. My heart and hopes and wishes are always with you. Hugs... shine on, wherever it will be :) In my heart you do. Good luck. and kisses.
