A lot has happened here since my last comment, and I feel like saying something.
I would like to talk about the amazing sceneries you create, about your wonderfully handcrafted terrains, the multitude of sky textures you produce, the level of details that adds realism, and, not least, your expert control of lighting.
But I’m a little out of words and I don’t know where to start.
It might be that the extreme heat we have experienced here in Oslo these last days have had an impact on my brain, or it might just be that I’m in fear of repeating myself.
At the top of the gallery, in VeroniQ’s subjective list of best threads, we can read:
"Ceciliabr willingly shares her beautiful and poetic illustrative images, with advice and tips."
I would like to add narration to that description.
Generous is a word that springs to mind when I browse through this thread once again. Artistically, both in imagery and narration, you obviously make an effort to offer us something more than only your magical renderings, or snapshots, as you so humbly call them. There’s always a story behind ( or between ) your images, with references and links to elements that can be spotted in the details of your pictures.
Yes, I would definitely like to share a bottle of “Wicca Black Coma” with you at the ”Café Kokos”, have a pizza at “Gluck’s” and afterwards visit “The Church”, both to watch the cool interior and the amazing light you have created, and for a shot of “ Rogalandsfinta “ (
) , but I'll pass on the “Nightmare Chaser”. Is that you on the phone, sitting on the windowsill behind the bar, where one can, judging by the beer glasses, get Amstel and Heineken, and even Cat’s PEE?
A rental truck is passing, with a strange but completely relevant name on it - for this story. And your bar menu is altogether entertaining.
Details, all the way, and a lot of these details are part of the narrative.
The old posters on the outside wall, the ancient radio on the shelf in the kitchen, the old pizza oven – illustrating an establishment with a history.
This is solid work!
anyway, I'm trying to compose a sort of smooth transition to the next chapter.
That means there will be more chapters.
I look forward to that!
Enjoy summer!
