This is based on an abstract painting by my Mum! When I saw the loneliness
topic that painting immediately came to mind. It's entitled "Sentinel",
though unfortunately I don't have an image of the orginal for you to compare
it to. This is my interpretation of that painting. Whenever I looked at it I
always saw a dark figure stood on a planet surface, with two planets in the
sky behind.

The julia fractal is a placeholder at the moment, and will probably get
replaced by a figure if I decide to continue with this WIP.

Any comments, criticisms, etc.?

P.S. have you noticed how well this thing has jpeg compressed? It's a
massive image in just 56k! :)

The painting it's based on might be abstract, but the rendering
isn't; it's surrealist.  Abstract are is non-representational,
and it's clear that we're looking at a planetscape with two
planets in the sky and a hovering stone formation.

I actually like your place holder--probably much more than a figure.
Nice feel to the image.

I'd say leave it just the way it is, no need for a character to be 
added.  Nice work.

I don't mean to be rude, but my mum's an abstract artist so I know what abstract
means! My image isn't meant to be abstract, it's my interpretation of my mum's
abstract painting. sorry for any ambiguity :)

I know exactly what you mean. I'm going to try to design a figure based around
the fractal object, but if it doesn't work out I might return to this one
because it definitely has something I like :)

:) thanks. The only reason I think I should try to develop it is because:

"The July-August 2002 stills round deadline is in 56 days, 8 hours, 12 minutes,
and 7 seconds"

So I have 8 weeks to play with it before entering! Though after your comments
I'm going to keep this image, and develop a new one based on this (rather than
just throwing this one away as a WIP).

Cheers

I like the julia fractal too, how about an area light on that one? I'd work
a bit more on the ground, "bend" the horizon, add some dunes, mountains?
It's a planet surface? Right now it looks like a box ;) The planets in the
background looks great! Maybe add a bit more "glow" around them?

Nice work!
