You can almost smell the damp air. Lighting is beautiful. Cheers! Erik

ThruMyEyez  05/07/04 @973

This is absolutely beautiful. I'm in awe!

Bougal  05/07/04 @973

I really like the composition. Nice touch with the drop shadow - it really helps the presentation. Great attention to detail and lighting, Keep up the great work .

Ferguson  05/07/04 @980

Do you have any books, because I'd buy in a heartbeat. I am blown away by how someone can paint so photorealistically. This is wonderful work!! You have a new fan, ANTIFAN.!!!

Juro  05/07/04 @989

Great work, looks like I could walk into it, truley spooky stuff! +8

Ikaa  05/07/04 @014

Very nice! Thanks for sharing the process. Great.

Nyhtmare  05/07/04 @032

Impressive!

kittyfox  05/07/04 @037

Stunning! I really enjoy seeing your process as well. The board in the right hand lower corner looks like it is transparant--I don't know if this was intentional... Great lighting!

Fresh  05/07/04 @081

OMG ELITE SUBMISSION +MAX. just joking, this really deserves good votes though. you really got the mood you wanted here.

Cirdan  05/07/04 @114

I'm taking a break. I'm taking a break. Ach, I don't want to be inspired I've been beating my head too much! Wow, as always. I'm green with envy. 7-8 hours??? That's just not fair dangit!

SoaLD  05/07/04 @119

that's var-ahy niiiiiiiiice!

CryLovBsh  05/07/04 @125

Awesome.

Kupfel  05/07/04 @137

I admire you.

cowsmanaut  05/07/04 @142

Great job for 1 point perspective. Really nice mood. Mind my asking if you used any filters? seems like there is a little noise in there...

mks5958  05/07/04 @148

Thank you so much for including the stages of progress. I want to clinck on each and study it in more detail! I really like the light cast onto the floor and the texture of the wall to the left. Nicely atmospheric.

CrazyFrazee  05/07/04 @149

That is incredible. Simply stunning. But I actually have a criticism. I didn't notice it at first, so it isn't a very big deal, but the reflected light on the floor bugs me a bit. You did a quick brush early in the process, which gives it a messy, refracted look for certain, but as it gets closer to the viewer, it turns into that zig-zaggy line. It just doesn't seem to go with the clean, photorealistic style of the rest of the image. Did I mention I am in awe?

mks5958  05/07/04 @152

Thank you so much for including the stages of progress. It's fascinating to study the changes from one to the next. My favorite parts of this piece are the light cast onto the floor and the texture of the wall to the left. Nicely atmospheric.

emarts  05/07/04 @166

Forget about the window, I'm afraid of what might be under those stairs! No critique, just a question. The vertical lines in the image don't go straight up and down but get closer together as they reach toward the top of the image. How did you know to do that? It makes it look very photographic. I would not have thought to do that.

Marley  05/07/04 @219

actually emarts i have been picking up on the same technique on a few images across the net, and thinking the excact same thing ^^.Thats incredible brush work gary and amazing lighting.Just bloody brilliant,great to see a new image from you too!. Marley

Crow  05/07/04 @242

excellent work, almost perfect +9/9

nightwish  05/07/04 @260

I wish I could gave you a +10... but right now in my situation as a member I can only give you a +7. You did a great work...that lightning is very good.

CityRose  05/07/04 @373

Wow, wow, WOWEEEEEEEE!!!!! I like it! That atmosphere is so cool! Well done, I really mean it! Full vote! +9

ANTIFAN  05/07/04 @430

Thanks for the quick feedback everybody In answer to some questions: To the perspective question - the guide lines were draw on by hand on a separate layer - they are fairly rough - just to let me know where the structure should go loosely. Also, there were no filters used per-say, I did use a photo of some concrete as a template to work the detailing in - kinda fun. The image was intended to be fairly rough - it was one days work - normally I would take 3-4 on a full illustration.

ADY  05/07/04 @538

Great atmospheric! Your mate! Ady.

DrInker  05/07/04 @621

pfft, I can do that 9/9

Piligrim  05/07/04 @694

PhilipStraub  05/07/04 @755

exquisite.....one of my favorites of yours.

iarwain  05/07/04 @851

amazing... imho it has no xpression and that's a lack... but that's a technical exhibition... impessive... thx for the process images, im like a child when someone gives sketches or process images x) (that "Z-Z" brush trace in the floor bothers me ^^)

muffadal1980  05/07/04 @874

Fantastic. The image is just like you described it. You want to go towards the light, but are afraid to go there because of the atmosphere.

Martinity  05/07/04 @926

Fantastic work! It's difficult to tell that it isn't a photograph

turtle  05/08/04 @988

Awesome delicacy. and nice idea of presentation with those casted shadows on the layout, it really adds to the traditional feel of the pic. =)

crystl  05/08/04 @051

Weee, I love it! Quite fantastic! +9

PeachySticks  05/09/04 @933

Holy crap. O_O I thought it was a 3D render at first glance, though the broken wood bits at the right kinda gave it away. Still, bloody AMAZING textures and light, it could send chills down my spine. *shudder* You achieved the intended sensation as in the description so, so well.

Starskin  05/10/04 @202

wow. it's perfect as an environment. with an environment like this, i would like to see something displayed in it. but you get my full points because it's perfect.

Livingrope  05/10/04 @588

OMG ! it's simply stunning. Thx for the lesson Antifan.

sirgerg  05/11/04 @684

Bravo... once again I am left speechless at your eye for detail and impeccable perspective.

epvision  05/14/04 @962

The setting really strikes me! The eye finds the window most interresting to look at, so I guess you accomplished the goal. I wanna go there. great job on the shadows. and the perspective is good

ANTIFAN  05/14/04 @996

Thanks again for the feedback - it was nice to get the chance to post up a concept painting.

NiroShophan  05/14/04 @435

As said on DA, this is really impressive, especially in its atmosphere. And I found the process images to be very enlighting, too -- thanks for sharing!

ANTIFAN  01/25/05 @555

flowjoe  03/18/05 @493

Amazing details, and I agree, you get the feeling that something really bad is about to happen any moment in that room.

dimaco  03/30/05 @757

devoured  04/04/05 @552

Gigoman  04/20/08 @511

... I'm busy thinking 'Am I sure it's not a photo and he's lying?' But then I remember looking at all your works that can't have been photos and decide that it's not. you are just that good.
