A same sky shared by two different worlds came about at the Dawn of Man and his machines. The birds suddenly found themselves making their migrating journey higher and higher through generations to keep themselves up in the cooling breeze, enjoying the sun to ensure they didn't dip below the lethal and dark realm of Man...

My entry to the first installment of the eARTh string of contests held by =K-lenx The first of which is given the theme "pollution" and as you can see, I think mine cleary shows that - well clear enough to forgive my rather weak intro up there (hey, its late here :bored:)

There's more symbolism here than you think, I tried to give it more meaning. The air up top is a pure refreshing blue, so clear that you can even see the dark side of the moon a bit, whilist in the smoggy bottom half, you'd be lucky to see the buildings a few miles off in the thick, artificially-heated lower atmosphere...The rays up top may just be the sun peering through to the untrained eye, but they could even suggest God himself is being buried under what the creatures he made in his image who were supposed to take CARE of this world, have made (I'm not religious by the way, but the symbolism of "God" still is pretty appropriate for anyone really :pray:)...there are even 21 birds exactly, to represent the 21st century :nod: though I'm not sure if the smaller ones are visible in here (I'd love to make full-view bigger, but you know - art theifs :shakefist:)

Made using a mix of Cinema 4D, Vue 6 and Photoshop. Some photo's were manipulated to form the raw base for the clouds, and a stock from image*after was used for the birds. Everything else is either modelled or painted from scratch :)

Edit: wow, I have never gotten 900 faves in the first 24 hours before. That's a new milestone for me. Thanks a lot to all those who faved!

Edit2: I won!!! yep, here's the contest results too [link]

How much would you sell this for as a digital slighty higher res photo? And id like to use it for a dvd cover that wont be sold and will display your name on the art. What would it take for me to be able to do this. Thanks!

That all depend son how high-res it has to be, and for what it will be used for. Some people can buy prints through d if they just want a small one to look at. For ones used on actual stuff, the payment goes to me before a copy of the file is sent out. Stuff that's going to be distributed, shared or sold understandably needs to be a bit more to compensate on my end.
