#alcoves

[artistic-daspletosaurus]

For a community project I had to come up with a concept for an alien ship's corridor that holds collected dinosaur specimens in an alcove. For that I jumped into Blender to make up some weird columns and painted over the matcap render in Krita.

Engulfed in Memories to Share with Mesa Verde National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southeast while taking in views across cliff dwellings present at the Spruce Tree House in Mesa Verde National Park. This is from an overlook walk while I began hiking the Petroglyph Point Trail. My thought on composing this image was to capture of you of the cliff dwellings and have them run across the image center. I've pulled back a little more on the focal length so that I could include some of the trees and nearby surroundings as a foreground interest and have a layered look beyond. The cliff wall above was also important as it added to the setting and story for how the Ancestral Puebloan people would have to go up and down the walls to get to those dwellings.

The inherent homoeroticism of sitting in an alcove, shutters drawn behind you as you remain, out of sight, behind the slats. Gazing out at the skyline as the storm howls around you, rain beating against the windows. You’re not hiding- not quite; you’re just existing in the only state known to you: in the in-betweenness of things. Separate from the rest of the household, yet sheltered from the storm.

In the eve of the midwinter solstice, when the frost burns the air and all life may seem dead Go into the forest and follow the path; let the lights guide your way Once you've reached the ruins, the end of your journey can be seen from afar And though you are very young and must be wary of unwanted eyes, prying from the shadows; persist, and do not fear the dark for it only makes the light more beautiful The last autumn leaf has fallen, and The King is waiting --- now, go!
