Imaginary Cathedrals, Temples, and Graveyards

> 「神の在不在はさておき、これだけでも大したものですね」 > > 「俺の村では祈りの場そのものも信仰対象だった。神様の姿を知る人間は限られていたし、実際信仰に足る代物だった」 > > 「確かにあれは神の御業といった感じでしたね」 > > 「だからみんな死んだ」 which, google translated, comes out as: ### church in ruins > “Aside from the existence or absence of God, this alone is a big deal.” > > "In my village, the place of prayer itself was an object of worship. There were only a limited number of people who knew the appearance of God, so it was actually something worthy of belief." > > “It certainly felt like the work of God.” > > "That's why everyone died."

> Participant of the CGTrader Digital Art Competition. https://www.cgtrader.com/ > > An older painting massively reworked. As always when doing personal projects, I drew inspiration from real places that I visited. > > This idea came to me long time ago, during visit of a rather famous medieval town in Czech. Sometimes things you see just stick with you and won't let you sleep until you make something out of them. This was the case. > > From the very beginning I wanted to have this calm, meditative, approaching a safe sanctuary feeling. For that reason I chose the central composition that appears symmetric at first but is actually far from it. Both sides are balanced with different shapes making the image stable yet not boring. Choice of lightning and colors was also made with the same purpose in mind [artstation site](https://tomashonz.artstation.com/projects/035xe) || [artstation page](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/035xe) [artist's website](https://tomashonz.com/)
