Title: Makaiki
Name: Tae Young Choi
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop
Hello!
This is my personal project.
Please, let me know what you think.
Makaiki means a hell tree in Japanese. I picked Japanese because it is located underneath Japan. The tree at here sucking the blood from the dead people and makes some kind of evil spirit out of it and shooting to the earth surface. That is what I thought the hell looks like.
I got this thinking after watching the movie Constantine. It was so interesting to see the different style of the hell. I was making my own story aout the hell, So, I just came up with my own hell idea. That idea drove me to do this painting.Questions and critiques are more than welcome!

wow, amazing colors! and i would say - brave idea - from what i remember a tree has always been a symbol of life - it's intersting that you decided to make it symbol of hell.. :) now when i think about it - trees do suck from earth like crazy.. that's it - from now on trees are hell creatures to me..

Wow! Thats amazing!
Great sense of scale and very dramatic camera and colours. I like the rough, sketchy brushmarks too.

makai is hell/devil and ki tree?
Well anyway, very good image, it's very powerful and the angle of view seems to have great effect.

The whole composition really creates a sense of suspense, the mixing of dangerous hues only adds to the atmosphere, nicely done!

Yes, impressive work. The various lightings about the place reminds me of tunnel b1, an old playstation game, in ambience. So this piece has a somewhat inadvertant nostalgic value for me ^^. That is one evil tree.

This looks difficult to create. The composition and the execution of putting this complexed story into a simple yet profound message has turned out very successful.
Very well done. Congrats on front page!

That cube (building) sure reminds me of the box from Hellraiser... you might want to change it slightly if you are afraid of it being too similar. But sho nuff, it is really tight.
