Description
Visitors from outside are always worth some attention. There strange appearance... and they actually move through such a hostile environment without any water...
These may be some of the thoughts of this' planet's inhabitants. Actually they are the result of an illegal genetic experiment in the past. Shown to be intelligent as their genetic ancestors, they finally managed to get the right to found their own civilization. And are nowadays highly demanded experts for marine environments.
When I had the idea for this picture, it was clear that I had to realize it - the opportunity was just too good to experiment with light in varying mediums. I've modelled the glased passage, and created new textures based on Eyecatcher's material for DACort's wonderful freebees. Hope you like the result, and thanks for stopping by!

Poetic image, very well done, with a fine atmosphere. Simply gorgeous.

wow... fantastic picture.
Outstanding image! A wonderful blend of sci/fantasy/emotion!
Great idea, and wonderfully realized.
Gasp! Amazing detailism once again and the POV excellently chosen, too. I also love the way both species try to explore each other or say "hi". It reminds me of an experience I had in the Zoo many years ago when I was a little kid. I went to the house where the gorillas and orang-outangs lived. Their cages had thick acrylic glass windows instead of bars, which was quite new these days. And suddenly I found myself in the same situation with a young orang-outang like pictured in your image. It was a very touching moment which I'll never forget.
How strange and compelling...you really wonder who the "outsider" is...excellent work, Alexander, really like the entire idea, and the lighting, modeling and everything is just perfect.
