Description


I didn't know whether to pick Illustration or Surrealism for this one. I was illustrating a passage in the novel I am reading at the moment "Chronicles of Amber" Roger Zelazny. "When light came again, bluish this time, it held no point source and described no land. ... Golden bridges cross the void in great streamers, one of them flashing beneath us even now... ...Finally far ahead, a dusky, misty blotch, our terminus, growing very slowly despite our velocity... By the time we reach it, it is gigantic, an island in the void, forested over with golden metallic trees... we enter that wood, grass like aluminium foil crunches beneath us as we pass amongst those trees. Strange fruit, pale and shiny hangs about me...." I started out thinking it was going to be a quickie but somehow along the way it's taken an awful lot of fiddling. Millenium horse, V2 hands on the reins (yeah, I know, the character riding that path is really Corwin, Prince of Amber but I had V2 ready to roll...) Hope you enjoy. Thanks for viewing and any comments you wish to make :)

Didn't read,never do..just take in the art and decide then..very nice ,cool concept..some flapping of the mane would help,but that's picky..maybe he stopped there...I dunno...

Awesome books, by the way! Your path technique is intersting, looks tedious... "All roads lead to Amber..."

Thanks :) Flapping of the mane - smartass reason, this close to the Courts of Chaos normal rules of gravity don't apply and they're gliding along those bridges. Real reason - I have terrible trouble with those Milhorse manes, even after I bought an addon package of them. This one has a touch of sway on the right side but all I achieved was a strange suspended wave :D

You captured the scene beautifully! Your render is marvelous and is exactly what I would picture reading that quote. Great work! I'll have to look into Zelzny's works.
