Artist's Comments

I once had a dream worth living for,
But now I forgot who I am anymore.

Who am I?
Who are you?
Please tell me that it isn’t true!
Please tell me that there’s still a chance,
Please tell me that there’s another dance…

The sky has fallen they have told me, but them I just did not believe...
The skies alight with fire they had told me, but them I just did not believe.
It’s better to take up positions; it’s better just to run away.
It’s better just to hide in fear, but that I just did not believe.
It’s better to blend in with crowds, so shrapnel cannot penetrate your flesh.
It’s better to descend to shelters, for world is shattering in half.
The sky is falling,
The sky is falling.

And I stood there, looking up...

Thats absolutely gorgeous. (Sorry I wasn't on msn to get your message.)

I think the thing that gets me the most is the broken windows. The glass, it almost looks like frost, and it makes me wanna reach out and touch it. I also love the fish-eye lense effect you have. Perspective, expecially that kind, is something that I can never do @_@; I love the lighting, as well. The little round window in the front of the cathedral really caught my attention. The clouds look frighteningly real.

I also love the crater near the front. Its like its sucking the world into it.

The colors are amazing as well. I love how you added in the blues, purples, and even some very subtle greens to the picture. It adds variety, and makes a person wanna just keep staring at the picture forever.

As always, your skill in architecture, design, and attention to detail floors me. Gimme some of your skill, darn you D:

Sanctuary of lies and deceit is finally blasted open for all to see. Unfortunately, this results in a another great war.

" There shall be heard a noise of weapons and in the same year divines shall be enemies. They shall unjustly put down the holy laws and by thunder and war, true believers shall die. "

Maybe WW III is made of religious battle and cleansing throughout the world.
