This makes me think of a game called "Jade Empire" for some wierd reason....

I love that character, the background scenery is beautiful, I'll probably still be looking at this well after commenting

Gorgeous work hon! I know we established in notes that you weren't currently open for commissions, but I'd love to grab a slot when you are next :D will that be mentioned in a journal? I don't look at people's front pages as a matter of course

Once I get caught up on my current round of commissions I'll post a journal with instructions on how to try for a slot in the next round =)

Okay! thanks! *will actually bother to check journals for a while* X3

Wow, wonderful work.

Great detail and paint work!

Wonderful composition and such a beautiful scenery <3

This Picture is just Beautiful

The detail on this is amazing! :)

*hums "Corridors of Time"* Lovely. I like the the cracked/swirly textures.

The scene the colors just gorgeous

Fantasy!

this reminds me of the book "Helix"

Wow... Purely amazing effects and stunning detail on the floor. You leave so much to take in at one time that one could pick up something new each time they look at this. n.n I applaud you!

How did you lay out the architecture for this piece?

I started with a rough concept sketch of the basic layout... and then using that as a kind of guide, I started to sketch out the background onto the actual sheet of illustration board. I started with placing the horizon line, and then i drew the ellipticals for the ceiling and the floor - I started with the innermost ellipticals and worked outward. In order to try to make the ellipticals somewhat even, I drew a horizontal line and a vertical line as a central axis, and then measured out equal distances from the center, marked those points, and then drew the ellipse around it, connecting the dots, and trying to make sure that each of the four segments was roughly the same shape.

For things like the star, and the columns, I just measured and marked points on the ellipses equidistant from the center, and from eachother, and went from there.

There may be a better/more accurate way to draw ellipses in perspective, but that's the method I know of.

dorp. I kept saying 'ellipticals'. I mean 'ellipses'. Just got back from the gym @.@... guess my brain is still there.

You seem to be doing a lot more comissions than you actually upload... is there a specific reason for that?

I upload most of the pictures that I am commissioned for soon after they are complete.

When something is a surprise for someone, or part of a project thats not announced, I wait until later to post the art...

Sometimes art slips through the cracks and doesn't get uploaded for one reason or another, but I guess most of the stuff I don't upload is sketches/con sketches. Sometimes I will, but I don't like to flood my gallery with quick sketches or unfinished works)

It was amazing how you made the floor and the reflection on it. I'm still stun.
I think I should thought of another piece, more characters perhaps. Are you ready ? well I'm not
Still would need try to get the commission slot. Well something to think about for 2012


It would be look stunning as poster A2 on my wall like the previous piece.

I'm so glad that you like it! The floor did take a long time and many layers of washes to do =).

Well, I look forward to the next commission I get to do for you ^.^!

The whole picture is wonderful, but the scenery and background are what really make it amazing IMO. So much detail, so much to see, yet none of the background or setting detracts from the character, which gives it a really remarkable balance. I like it!!!

Another beautiful piece.

I SOOOOOO thought this was Skyward Sword. lol. (play the game, you'll get the reference halfway through)

*echoing from the distance* DOVAKIIN!!!

Why does this remind me of chrono trigger o_O ? nice work kacey =D

Once again you never cease to amaze me, and the rest of us. ^^

Another beautiful piece. :)

For some reason, I'm tempted to make a joke about him getting some new knowledge that isn't exactly what he was looking for...

...something like, "Bacon is awesome. You should try it sometime."

What really goes on inside a warp drive.

as always, Kacey!!

at preview it reminded me this pic:

Anyway great pic. I can see nice background work.

I am getting flashbacks from the game "Golden Sun." If you dont know what that is, go buy a GBA and get a copy of it. (or wikipedia it; its whatever). :)

beautiful
