Hi! I’ve been looking to discover new artists a lot lately, which inspired this thread! I think every artist has at least a few pieces that are their favourite. I’ll go with some of mine!
No AI is used in my process, progress pics are here!
Also, are there any pieces of art that you initially weren’t a big fan of when you finished them, but later warmed up to them?
This picture of the colloseum:
It took forever to prepare everything. One hour to get there, 40 minutes to wait in the line for the lift which goes all the way up on the roof of the Altare della Patria, and then waiting there for the sundown, again more than one hour, just before they close the roof at 19:15. I was the last person there still taking this picture while the security guard trying to convince me to go down with him.
I’m a real sucker for sunset and twilight, and I’m glad you got to stay up since that’s a really great photo! It’s kind of insane to think that there used to be thousands of people there (even conservative estimates reckon it would seat around 50,000!) almost two thousand years ago…
Seeing it in person, was it how you expected or more?
It’s a bit weird because it’s in the middle of a modern city, one more weird thing is that you can’t get in easily to explore like with other ruins, so you’re just on the outside looking at it.
But it is impressive especially when you get close to it and see what the weather did to it in thousands of years.
