There is a story to this picture.
Some time ago I was at my friend's countryhouse and we took a boat and a catamaran to cross the river. Once we got there, I took the catamaran to swim all by myself, since I was at this island before, but I forgot to take the rope on it and it got stuck in the catamaran's wheel.
Meanwhile, song at my pleer changed to "Wish You Were Here" and I've spent next 5 minutes listening to it and waiting till waves push me ashore.
It was quite an inspirational occurence.



P.S. Sorry for 3 black fishes in the sky, Jal.
P.P.S. Thanks goes to Mandrill and DatMuffinMan for the tips on canvas.

It has too many tiny details, they could make an impression of the mess.

Why aren't more people praising this?


user
Finlal (Level 11 Special Agent) @ 8/4/2015 12:49

Oh, thanks Geci.
That's one of the best compliments I could receive.

I missed this, amazing piece here. Full of imagination.

@Mandrill, yeah, made a hybrid version. It really does look better now.


user

@Muffin, I see, thanks.
The really good use of this feature is answering people with  .

That one was too big, looks perfect now! I'm with Muffin on the Hybrid one - wouldn't change a thing.

make a smily, then right click on it, and click on image properties. then just edit the image link. 


user
Finlal (Level 11 Special Agent) @ 7/29/2015 06:36

@skeddles, thank you.
@Muffin, that's a great idea!
I'll try it now, thanks.
Btw, how do you put images in comments?


user
skeddles (Level 11 Sphinx) @ 7/29/2015 04:45

Woah, great technique


user
DatMuffinMan (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 7/29/2015 04:09

I think a hybrid works best - 

- without a frame it seems too loose in a way, whereas with the one you have now it takes away from the adventurous feel of the piece. 


user
Finlal (Level 11 Special Agent) @ 7/29/2015 01:08

@Mandrill, thanks for the comliments and your suggestion, picture looks much better that way.
Though, I'm not that sure if this change is good for the theme.
I mean, boundaries lock the sky and it doesn't look so big and free and losing feeling that there is somethig else out there. But maybe it's just me. What do you think?


user
Finlal (Level 11 Special Agent) @ 7/29/2015 00:49

@Muffin, thanks a lot, man.
I had worries about colors in this one, but probably they were empty.


user
Mandrill (Level 9 T-rex) @ 7/28/2015 12:08

Man, this is on a very, very high pixel-level. Really great cluster work and smooth rendering. These very bright, almost pastel like, colours are pretty much perfect.

One little suggestion though. I think a small 1-2 pixel outline would frame this quite well and enhance the overall look.

Amazingly cool piece!

If i'm not mistaken, jal only gets mad at people who pixel M-birds, but don't quote me on that.... old folks get mad at a lot of things for no reason.


user
DatMuffinMan (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 7/28/2015 09:55

your pixel tech has always been on point, but here the rendering and colors and mood work so well together; it's just fantastic. 


user
Finlal (Level 11 Special Agent) @ 7/28/2015 09:23

Great to hear it from you!
Colors are mostly cold and not very saturated. Don't know what else there to say.


user
Drazelic (Level 8 Partner) @ 7/28/2015 09:20

Man, there is something I really like about these colors and stuff and I can't put my finger on it but faved nonetheless.
