Terminal frostI am contemplating stillness. A desolate and flat land breathing an unnatural silence.
The ploughed dirt has taken monstrous shapes as if the hand of a tormented sculptor wanted to impress his agony on this land.
The traces of my footsteps are long gone, probably blown away by the blizzard. And the snow... the snow is a dirty white. It doesn't even have that feel, the one I remember from childhood. It crumbles in my hands, like sand. The sky is also grey and if it weren't for distant trees you would not be able to place the horizon in the picture.
Everything is frozen. The trees have frozen, birds on branches frozen too, looking quiet and at peace.
I have to move now. I remember I was going somewhere... North... I think. I'm in no hurry, but I've seen all I can from this point. My hands are a bit cold, but it's bearable. Chest feels warm enough and the walk will get my heart pumping again.
It's going to be a hard winter. Hard for the land... hard for the trees... h

really like your work, for the most part. Nice concepts and very engrossing. I like the surreal consistency

This is fantastic. The overall composition is good. But the desig of this bow is so powerful also, good work!

~AlexiaSimaino Nov 14, 2012 Student

Really like this. Makes me wonder what Capricorn would look like?

~DrowsyBrowser Nov 13, 2012

This is great, very DaVinci-esque with the added fantasy element.

its beautifull

It's good and all but the telescope is a bit awry. You've mounted it onto the bending limb of the bow rather than the static handle. Every time he draws the bow or releases it the telescope moves ruining the point of aim thereby ruining accuracy. It's also crossing in the path of the string if you notice it's perspective.

Just letting you know.

yeah I did take that into account (though that's not the point) - actually the telescope is mounted into the central part of the bow, and on the vertical axis, which will be fixed and only the extremities will bend - but yeah it's just a sketch, and besides it's a metaphor so don't look at it as a character - the dynamics won't really work anyway - since even the lower part is kinda blocked by the right leg - as in: it won't be released freely
as I said my works are rarely functional characters, but rather ideas/metaphors - so you shouldn't really look for functional consistency

The telescope is really his eye! Just kidding, good catch, its good to see constructive criticism in the comments.

This is a really cool pic, will you be posting the other constellations as well?

don't know really, since I was mostly interested in finding a name for an archer, and that's one word for it - no particular reference to astrology
