Artist's Comment
This image depicts the effort of humanity as it reaches out into the universe from their home world.

The figure is standing on a very high peak surrounded by civilisation. It's symbolic of how people might stand as high as possible on their world, looking up into the heavens wishing to journey further.

Drawn in PhotoShop CS original res about 4000x4000.

Photo ref for figure (thank you Lisa :)

Beautiful work with the transluscent cloths spiraling out from her. They almost fell like smoke or light giving her an even more ethereal quality. You did an excellant job on her! The only thing that threw me off was the background of buildings -- they seem to cocme forward at the edges rather than away, giving the impression at first glance that she is in a valley or bowel of sorts rather than at the peak in the center. Perhaps because it is lighter at the edges bringing it forward and darker to the center pushing it back. Despite the perspective of the background throwing me off a little, I still think this peice was exceptional! Wonderful work.

Looks really Good but I would drop the background drag and drop her onto a really good sun and sky scene and name her Mary Magdalene who it the Apostled the Apostles reaching out to us to convert and make more spirit like. She is around and very powerful that is why she has received so much criticism from hell.
