Leaving Snake Mountain by Tom Godfrey
The cliff face shimmered slightly as the craft slipped softly into the blue. They hugged the sheer wall until they were well clear, then dipped into the powdered soft whiteness beneath. It had been a while since their last meeting. Hopefully this one would go better…
I have used this digital painting as the cover for my
2009 Sci Fi Calendar

love it. The detail, the teeth at the cave mouth. Excellent. The lasers shooting out from the windows. Very nice indeed, Tom.
Thanks Ann. I did the sketch for this on a train ride -waste no time they say :)

Spooky looking craft, great colours and the light glowing under the lead craft looks beautiful.
Cheers Greg. I’m glad you like it.

I have been spread so thinly I have been missing your beautiful stories and images. If it wasn’t so late would try and write a bit of a continuation.
…gone are the good old days when you only had to look at a few hundred thousand images a day :) thanks for stopping by Pilgrim. Any time you feel like adding to the story you are more than welcome.

Here I am just overwhelmed by that imagination and sheer craftsmanship – or is that craftspaceship? You do these so well Master Tom. Look at that subtle light on the rockface, the highlights on the craft and the suggested fear of a big gob with teeth. Who else but you could make it all so realistic!
Thanks Sir Brian and for noticing all the subtleties and the not so subtle “big gob” :)
