(http://assets.cgsociety.org/nvart/350970_1236037205/1024bound)Well, here is my contribution to the contest. I call it Gravity only because I feel there is a sense of energy created by the giant object in the center. The image was done all in Photoshop. My image is a culmination of studying Yerka's paintings and trying to come up with a composition that he would possibly create, while trying as hard as possible to not copy any compositions he already has done, which was a difficult task. Although I could continue working on this image forever, I feel it is at a point where at least the essence of Yerka's style shines through, even though there is room for improvement to what's there, and much more room for detail/growth. This project was a huge learning experience for me, I started all the way back in December trying to come up with the perfect composition for this contest, and through all that thinking I finally winged it and ended up with a composition entirely different. This was also the first time I have entered a CGSociety contest so I think I was intimidated by that prospect. It was definitely worth participating, no matter how much time was spent. Hopefully, I will be in many more contests to come!
