i have to say, your reaction on a contest entry is as fast as the speed of light
edit: hmm, ok, i should have been more thouroughly in reading your post, this isn't a real reaction on meaty's entry
but still, fast as lightning, you go Rey!

Hi 2Rey, i agree with you, but for me (AND I THINK FOR SOME OTHER) it's the 1st time i'm trying to approach this kind of work, surely with constructive help like yours many of us can upgrade skilz and gain experience.
thanks

What Rey said.
And I've also noticed that there have been quite a few of those type entries in the last few months...buildings floating in air...things of that nature.
Yes, if it's done with originality...then ok.
But if ya keep on and on and on doing the same thing every other entry...it does get kinda old.
Nothing wrong with sharpening one's skills...or trying new things...not at all. But there is such a thing as overkill.
By the way...Marco and Nifft...good chops today! Not directed at you!

LOL, It's been a staple cover of thousands of fantasy books and
vinyl records since the sixties. It was one of the first things ever done to death when wallpaper and computer art sites first got big.'Tis one of the original cliche's.
That said, when Meaty did it, it was new for here and done to a very high level. A very nice image, indeed.Something nice for any and all portfolios, kinda like doing an invisible or teletubbie.

One night, long ago, a band of drunken astro-engineers of the first generation clambered round the building digging this, fixing that, banging very hard on the other and when the sun rose the following morning, it was startled to find itself shining on a building full of happy drunken people which was now floating like a young and uncertain bird over the treetops.

I think if people avoid their first couple of ideas and think their chops through a bit more we would see quite a few more creative chops. my first 2 ideas for the source image were exactly that, water or a floating castle. Even though some were done quite nicely i can't help but think.... predictable
