Dire Portent

It’s not looking good in the city tonight. The moonlight vanished, the skies are unnatural hues and a feeling of dread pervades the air.

The Uniting Church at Adamstown in Newcastle with a digital make-over. It’s getting a real make-over too. They are building a new Hall in the grounds next to it.

    James, this is awesome. Incredible photograph, and in a couple of short sentences you describe perfectly the dread of the night. Truly excellent. – Cora

  • reflector replied

    Thanks Cora ! I think it’s more fun to see some fictional scene like this than the untouched Church, nice as that place is.

    It just the average Sunday, really ! :) Thanks for the fave ! Having surfed and skated, we like high intensity, dark and moody music [ but also lots of other styles ] to psyche up to. So I listen to heavy metal often. I made 2 other artworks along these lines -
    Dark Kingdom – Trivium Fan Cover Art
    Sheol Risen – Trivium Fan Art

  • Vim Lowenstein

    yeah I like the grainy effect on this one.

  • reflector replied

    Thanks Vimm ! It’s two textures from things I’ve photographed. One is toned down to mellow the graininess a bit. I was going to add text and things but decided to stop here.
