Beautiful! I wish I could see the details in actual size up close. Simply amazing.

I love the eagle head gargoyles and the rose window but the spire stretching out of sight seems plain. I mean it is well painted but with the huge build up as ones gaze moves up the picture it is a bit of a let down that the towers are smooth and vertical.(maybe some more flying buttresses) +7

Love the sense of scale in this one, and the colours used.

I agree the tower looks a little plain near the top, and there's something about the clouds that put me off (maybe the contrasting flow of the nimbus and cirrus clouds, but maybe that's just me). Regardless, still an excellent piece, but not one of my favorites of yours.

Really beautiful *_*. The colours are so warm and fantastical. The lighting is ah....Mmm very whimsical~... awesome sense of scale, as someone else put. I do wish there was some variation in the length of those spires on the under-side of the city though? It seems a tad too uniform as it is now~. Still, wonderful work

Good and detailed. Too confusing with the depth, though. There's precious little feeling of distance and air, which detracts from the fortress's looming presence. :/

Trees in front looks maybe too soft.. and the overall image is lacking sharpness. It's cool though, depth is well done and clouds are your own unique style.

As someone about to delve into the world of Oil Painting this is both inspiring and daunting. What can I say? Damn near perfect. My only niggle would be composition - I would have liked to see the city tilted a little bit, perhaps it's a bit flat-looking. But those clouds... damn! +8.5 / 9, and seeing that's not possible, +9 / 9 !!!

I love the contrast between the pink clouds and the green ground! And I love how you did the clouds, dynamic, yet fantasy-like. Very neat

I really like those skewed skies you do in some of your pieces; it makes them a lot more dynamic.

It's a crime. It is truly a crime that one of this guy's works hasn't breached the 1000 point mark yet. You should have one of those signs on your door that says "Immortal at Work."

One minor critique: the clouds that predominate the top right corner seem rather convex, which works against natural atmospheric formation (unless you have an inside out planet I guess).

Other than that, stunning... Simply stunning...

You paint like the old masters. Your use of color is amazing, and also the sky is very unique. Gives it an even more surreal look. I love the golden light hitting the rocks of the floating rock asylum but it seems to not fit with the big cloud on the left. Where is the light coming from and wouldn't the cloud have warmer highlights?? Just trying to understand why you did it. It does give it great luminosity having cool colors in the background. Anyway, it is a surreal painting so anything flies :)

i like it, but in some parts of the grassland below, it appears to be lacking as much depth as can be found in the upper parts of the image. otherwise, it's a fantastic piece as well as a fantastic idea. :) 8/9

Okay, deja vu moment. Awsome painting but incredibly creepy that it is nearly alike to the tower in a dream I had a while back, only my tower was over the edge of an ocean. I should draw it, hm...

Absolutley brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
I really want you to know that some days I just want to die, then when I come home and look at your paintings, they really help me get through. Unfortunatley, I won't be able to attend that display on May 3rd, but know that you've really made a difference in my life from the work you've done. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

they should make a make a new rank on here. called "IMMORTAL", and dump you in it. I'm sure there's already one or two cults out there devoted to you.
