Daily Deviation

Given 2009-04-05

Not only is the pre-work impressive, but the detail in Rainbow's End by ~externalmind is astounding. There is something to discover in every little corner. Small yard gardens, a swan by the watermill, a little river bridge, a round tinted glass window on the house.. What makes its completeness is the sunflowers in the foreground taking two extremities of perspective from that and all the way to the tiny birds swimming in the farthest lake. It almost gives you a feeling of being there in person, touching the sunflower leaves, taking in the view. (Suggested by ~feainne and Featured by `WilderWein77)

Though I'm not a huge fan of matte painting or photomanipulation, this one is very beautiful and truely deserves more recognition on DA.

I'd like to feature it in one of my "Amazing Unknown Artworks on DA project" news articles, if that's ok with you.

You can see the first edition here (I submitted it using my painting account) : [link]

I'd suggest you checking out Philip Straub's artworks, if you don't already know his art. The golden atmosphere in your beautiful artwork reminds me of some of his matte paintings.
