Artist's Comments

This floating fortess of fear is many things - My halloween deviation for this year, submitted exactly one full year after the last, My entry to This contest held by `TerrorCookie and most importantly, the 5th floating island deviation I've added to this slowly growing series. A list of the others can be seen at the bottom.

Is it just me, or have I seen that Tree on the far-right of the island before? :confused: Gee gang, no need to split up this time, I've solved the mystery of where that old tree surrounded by graves was located, and it only took a year lol :zombie:

Seriously, it took a year! - not working time of course (though this did take twice as long as usual, the floating island ones always tend to do so) But I mean the concept, I came up with this image in mind only a month after last year's Halloween submission, I was going to do it anyway, but I decided to put it off for 11 months and save it for now, wow a year sure goes fast!

Done mostly in Photoshop (about 95%) with just a good o'l mouse as usual. Theres a little bit of 3D in there for the island and wacky house which was the raw material I started with and work on and around.

Other floating island deviations in order of age:
1st - the tropical lagoon Hang gardens
2nd - autumn sunrise village High rise
3rd - night time city Night flight
4th - snowy ski resort Ski skies
6th - storm station Thunder factory

EDIT: ~Pr3t3nd3r suggested a little "hang-man" to be included, I thought it was a cool idea, so I did a skeleton hanging from the tree...who know's how long ago he was hung :dead: Included some bats also!

When she bent over, Rover took over and gave her a bone of his own.

Thanks, that's kinda the mood I was going for, a lot of "spooky scenes" seem to give me that impression :)

Thanks, Each time I do one of these floating island scenes, I have to be sure to give them my best clouds...even if it means a dozen hours of tedious, repetitive cloud-brushing :faint:

I knew I wanted a tree on that "peninsula" part of the main island, but making it the same as the other was an idea that I only got about halfway through making this, I thought it was clever :D
