Hey man you kill me, all your illustration are great, i'm gonna buy the book just for your illustration (it's not first time i do that and the book are always great, donald kingsbury's psychohistorical crisis was awesome...)
Your work on this one is very impressive, great mood ...

I love how there's a slight illusion created behind the floating house, looks like it's inside the bubble when it's in fact outside. Amazing job! 5 stars *nods nods*

I really like the "painted" surface on this. You also have a knack for giving the viewer just enough information to complete the details in the picture on his/her own. You don't over render.

Great piece. :applause:

I really like the image but having a little trouble getting my mind around it (perhaps that's the point). Especially the towers in the back, they seem somewhat lost. Perhaps being able to "slightly" see them through the glass would help the scale be more evident? I also get lost on the size of the sphere in general, but those are really minor crits.

The "painterly" feel is spectacular. Would be curious what the story is behind the image. Particularly in the floating isle and what it's purpose is. Vacation home that goes where you like perhaps?

Hi Sparth!
I just wanted to say that I really like your work in general. I'm espacially a fan of your Dune covers (who haven't dream of illustrate a series like that...!:) and your work for Prince of Persia: Warrior within. In this illustration, I think the design of the building in the background just rock!

Wish you great success in your future project!:)
