I open my mouth and no words come out.
Like a dream.
Thank you.

This is turning into a masterclass on metal shading 0_0

@ Adfor : Do not despair ! A couple years back, on a challenge just like this one (same prompt), I almost dropped out when John entered with his Harlasea map. He won, of course but he pushed me to go beyond my limits and produce a map I would never have produced if I haven't had his marvelous map as a constant reminder that I should do better. Take this obstacle and make it your strength

Inspiring words, thank you, Thomas.

[J.Edward]

Looks great John, the details are wonderful.

Thanks Bogie

Haha, can't stop yourself throwing that extra detail here and there

This is true

'just sitting on my chair with popcorn on my knees, watching at the best saga of the current challenge, really happy to be unable to join this time, so I can enjoy better.
The more you go into colors, the more I can see the amazing details, layer per layer. I didn't notice before the eyes in the clouds, and I imagine voices whispering everywhere...

Thank you Beee This one is proving to be an unusual one, even for me.
the esoteric revelations stuff has a lot of that - eyes, mouths, parts not attached to where they ought to be.
There's probably some symbolism in there somewhere.

I love the golden ray.
Is it a dragon, on top ?

Thanks Narc I'm not sure if you mean up on the horizon?
If so, that the sun peaking over the edge with its burning eye.

I open my mouth and no words come out.
Like a dream.
Thank you.

Thanks Ciuk

Hehe, I am playing around. Surface rendering is always fun.

Oh, forgot.. here's the rest of last night's progress.
Cus once you post an update for the evening, you always end up doing more.
