Never Let Go

The incoming planet's gravitational pull tore apart the atmosphere, as it loomed in the sky, a massive sphere of fire and light.
Its orbit had cataclysmically shifted, bringing it far too dangerously close.
The unending city of metal and glass, focused its billions of eyes upwards into the heavens, where the intensely flaring Goliath loomed.
A violent storm was coming. It was not here yet, but it was inevitable.

The “Arrows” were already piercing the sky, in the final attempt to reach the Goliath, break its will and throw it off course.
Every life of the unending metallic city depended on them.

Client comments:

Both Vanessa and I are very, very pleased with the outcome of this project. Vitaly managed to make it printable to one meter in size (I will be ordering the print today). Not sure where it will fit in our new home, but it is so touching to see my wife-to-be and myself in such a beautiful scene. The details are so rich, I find myself zooming in on many different places, just to discover what there is to look at.

Vitaly was given free hands to include us into his world. What I personally like the most is the emotion caught in our faces and the how the doomsday setting puts us into a context which makes our love so... essential.
