Artist's Comments

I know I can't get there... I know she might not even see me... but I won't give up, I don't know how, but I'll reach her!
And so he kept running, praying and wishing that somehow she would look at him and come down for him...

-------

Well well, this image actually has a meaning. I got the idea of the flying island from a famous photomanipulation I saw here on DA. But I had this idea long time ago, and finally managed to make it.

The meaning of this artwork, at least for me, has something to do about relationships. You know, when you like a girl, and you cannot feel complete without her, so you start running after her, trying to get to her... but you just can't... she's so far away, she's unreachable to you. However, she can come to you, if she wants... but, will she come down for you?

Well, I'd also like to know what you people think when you see this artwork. It's always interesting to know what is the "impact" of my works on other people.

Hope you like it.

very surreal, a bit random but looks pretty good

This is a pretty nice photomanipulation by the concept and also how you realized it! :lol:
But I can see that you took a part of a mountain... especially at the left part of the "stone" in the air I can see that it looks erased! :XD:

Hope you understand me. If you could fix that this would be cool! :)

Good manip, intyeresting concept. As said here before me, not all parts look convincing enough, but overall it's a solid work. Keep it up!

Looks good, but unless you have the hots for a woman 150 ft. tall, I'd shrink the woman so that the island is in proportion with her.
Otherwise, everything looks great. Awesome concept too.

Manipulating the manipulated and meaning, meaning; how enticingly remarkable.

Studied, measured, plotted, yet with a certain unexpected structure that flinches toward understanding , and still with a very-today pumped look.

Nicely done, gearlock.
