One Hundreth Deviation!!!! dundundun-dun-DUUUN! :party:

I did something special this time. For you see, the actual concept behind this picture is based off a really old drawing I did when I was like...10 maybe :hmm: I did lots of landscapes even back then...just in brightly-coloured crayon lol. And you will get to see that drawing, along with a progression list on how this was made, and wallpapers with it too later on :nod:

The concept itself is a little self-explainitory, along the lines of my "Golden gates of Hell", but the two weren't intended to be part of a series. The struggle between good and evil, happiness and sorrow, life and death, yin and yan...uuuugh - Coke and Pepsi even =p Of course, I didn't really consider how important original concpets were back when I was 10, this idea was really just a fluke, and I still think the original drawing is above the standards for the typical kid that age anyway, so when you see it, don't laugh at the lopesided mountain :lol:
You can see the original art, the progression on how this was created, and wallpapers of it at Force of Nature: progression

This here is my first proper attempt at Matte-painting too! since that's a feild I would really love to get into. For those who are unaware, matte painting is a digital landscaping form that uses a mix of digital painting, photo-manipulation, and sometimes 3D all together to try and get a dramatic, yet realistic result. Photo's were kept to a minimum here, most major areas were heavily manipulated from Vue scenes, and those renders were treated as the "photo's" that matte painters use. Anyway, anything important that I havn't said here, will be under the progression/wallpapers submission later anyway :)

Oh, and as you can imagine...this took an insane amount of time to do, probably the most time-consuming one so far...I just wanted to make a grand 100th stand...newcomers, be sure to check out the rest of my gallery too! :gallery:
Critiques are still allowed, I probably won't change this, but all ideas will be kept for next time ;)

EDIT: technically it is no longer the 100th in line but like, 80 or so as I have scrapped some older works. But it was 100 at the time of submission, so yeah :p

This is absolutely amazing. *_* I love the contrast between the two sides and the amount of detail you put into it astounds me.

Wow. I love it. It's beautiful. I've always preferred the space scenes but this is definably worth favoring.

I love the quality of this piece- its so... I cant explain it... like super clean o_O Great contrast too... seems like that dark side is swiping through the land taking out everything in its path, too awesome :D

I’m just a cold face on the street
slow and somber in my patterns
I’m just a friend you’ll never meet
I am the love that never happens

Great work, for your first proper attempt it sure is a good one :D I wish I was that insightful at 10 years old :xD:

Thankyou, the dark side wouldn't be taking over, I should have added to my description that the forces of both creation and destruction are always tied with each other, and here, there is a motionless borderline between both worlds :)
