Sorry, I wasn't sure what limestone looks like so I did a rusty coloured thing. My tablet is broken so this is done with a mouse. It took about an hour.

When the same forces that carved Ichatachaqa cave threatened to crush it under tons of rock, a huge endevor was taken to remove this "stalactite city" and place it somewhere safe.
painter, umm... 45?

Cool subject. i'm late es ever, at least I beat mr hand to it (hint, post something :P).
I had a lot of fun painting this, but most of that gets lost in this small version I think. To view the original size file, click here (http://student-kmt.hku.nl/~floris1/art/dsg49_big.jpg).

Man... I really like the creative stuff going on here... wicked ideas. I may have got the colours to give a feel, but my design doesnt come close to much of whats going on here... really cool. Especially Hand, Mysterian Florin and the wickedly named atomicSushi.

Am inspired to think a bit before I have a go next time. :D

Hi guys...in the creative industry field i.e. musician, artist, film maker, designer, writter, etc...

Part of my academic research is to create a website to communicate and collaborate creative development on an international level.

I would highly appreciate if you take this survey for me.

Thank You.

sketchling - Thanks! Love your handling of light and depth (great glints!). I do wish your image was a bit bigger though... I keep my monitor at 1280x960, so yours looks really teeny.

mysterian - Love the form of the rock and water, and the mossy addition. The city itself seems too crisp and gives it a pasted-on feel. Hmm... actually, I think it's that aqua-coloured tube thing it's contained in that does it.

Floris Didden - Beautiful job! Yours is almost too big... can't fit it on my monitor (no rotating anamorphic flat-screen).
Only real crit would be that the perspective of the water spouts seems peculiar to me: The lower spout should be more level with our p.o.v., and I think the upper spout angle might work as-is if the archway atop it had a perspective that was consistent with it.
Love the aesthetic of the buildings... especially the one with the most detail... that's really pretty! I also enjoy the main giant entryway and how blobby it gets at the bottom.

Dreckster - This is different from the line-art approach I've seen you take here... Good sense of depth and cool shapes. Kinda small though ;).

atomicsushi, and goran - Maybe not your best works, but good efforts nonetheless!
