Perhaps the physics of this portal only allows fast-moving things like
light to get through, and not large slowly moving objects such as
molecules of air? In this case, the portal is not something that one
could travel through, but only an "observation window."

No, the space landscape was painted on a large canvas and stretched over the
hole, in order to fool imaginative sci-fi fans. I guess that a close-up would
reveal some nails and strings holding the thing.
Very nice image, btw.

One of the best POV images ever. Would love to
see it as a stereoscopic pair.

Spectacular!  I just have to break my own rule here and ask you for the 
arch code.  I assume it's a torus with some sort of iso-surface applied to 
it?  The arch by itself would have blown me away, but then you went ahead 
and placed it in a really nice scene.  Very good job!

As I've said before, I'm a big fan of your work: if I got better, I
think I'd like to do work like yours.

The clouds, however, in some of your recent work, I don't like. It may
simply be a function of the camera angle.  It portrays a sense of
urgency, movement, dramatic framing,  and this often seems out of place
in your drawings.

I think the clouds, especially in this image really help! I know what you
mean by the sense of urgency you talk about but I think it really fits in
here.

Well, maybe it's more appropriate for this one.  I think there was a more
serene landscape a week or so ago and I never took the time to comment.
