Hey all! I took the weekend off at my folks place. I've got some art to show from it, but you'll just have to be patient for now. Why, you may holler? Because I've got yet another installation of my Darker Places series. This one if one of the oldest ideas I've had for this series, one of the originals; The Great Nowhere.
Deep in the recesses of the world without a name is a vast desert. Vaster than any world. No life can subsist in this space; not even the heartiest forms can last for long in this infinite wasteland. However, those with the skill an fortitude to survive into the deepest dunes may glimpse a true miracle. As far separated from any life as is conceivably possible, a vast obsidian pillar juts out of the bitter sands, rising hundreds of meters into the air. Atop this sheer pinnacle is a garden whose lushness is hardly seen anywhere in all the worlds, let alone in this improbable setting. The garden is ever green and lush, never dying or tiring but forever verdant and beautiful. It's said that one of the few gods who remain in this desolate, unravelling plane is responsible for this oasis. Other still claim that the god is in fact still inhabiting this garden of unearthly delights. Some claim that the invisible guardian, towering and unseen, if proof of its divinity, as many have perished in an attempt to scale the sheer walls of this nameless oasis, their bones now little more than dust in the seemingly endless desert.
Whether some divine power inhabits the garden or not is unknown, but so few have gazed upon its wonders that no one can even begin to speculate.
Also, I did a little photoshopping on this, just for the sake of the tones. More to come soon.
