Algún dia iré por ahí a descansar...¿como se llega?
lovely..
who will be sitting in the chair on top? makes me think of the Beatles' Fool on the Hill...
Love the line and shading skill and really like the darker black against the white sky
Well done!
it might as well be a tree stump with the chair cut out... a wood of tree stumps...
wonder what i'll be seeing in it next time...
whoa. im feeling 7 yrs in tibet with this bit!
what wonderful detail. can you imagine the work that would go into carving out that chair?
a very nice illustration.
What beautiful, fine work you do! I love this remote mountaintop that seems to have a chair carved out of stone...waiting for the wise man that many will come to for sage advice?
Very emotive, this! I think that every young boy who's ever built a treehouse has also had this same vision...a chair at the tippy top of a mountain pinnacle in which to sit and view far and far and away!
Hi, chuang!
great Illo, love that mountain top, so sinister and depth...A lot of work in render it...
I like the contrast between the black masses on the mountain and the whole white background.
And great dancing-coreography clouds in the sky too!
goooood work man!
Beautiful drawing and detail. It does feel isolated, remote.
Great drawing!! LOve the concept too!
vfm4, I do have an old ink sketch dating over a decade ago of a tree stump which was hollowed into a seat. That was inspired by an ink sketch I saw from an old Fighting Fantasy book from twenty years ago.
Alina, thanks. You are just astounding. I see so much new imaginative work from you in the space of a week. It staggers me.
Merv, can you believe it? I have not seen that Brad Pitt film. I know it is set in Tibet. How are the visuals?
Thanks Holly! Thanks Rsc!
Looks comfy.
love
Catnapping, wow, the trip there would be an adventure in itself, let alone carving out the stone chair. Heheh. Thanks!
Carla, the seat of stone could be anything you want it to be. Remote and detached. Heheh. Thanks for your comments.
Thanks Mick. You given me an idea. I may just draw a treehouse! Have you ever seen images of houses of the sea-dayaks? They are large wondrous things to be marvelled at. Presently, I am thinking of drawing windmills!
Rubio, thanks. I think the clouds and skyline can be improved. I am still experimenting with clouds, trying to achieve depth. The usual fluffy things are somewhat not adequate when there are distant peaks.
Thanks Aravis. Appreciate your comment.
Unknown, thanks! Have a seat please!
Once again...you've shown some nice line work in this illustration. Nice.
VERY remote! Great job!
you do such great ink drawings. i love how you put a chair form at the top.
Thank you Gerald.
Thanks Ellen. It was fun doing this.
Thanks Anthony. I visited your blog a couple of times and have noted that you have a lot more nice painted pieces. I would love to be able to paint like you.
