The Edge of Light

The Edge of Light

Oct 03, 2021

Welcome to the Edge of Light. A piece created once again to re-imagine normal everyday nature as if it was capable of producing light. A variant of the Pandora universe from James Cameron’s Avatar. However, this is one of the first pieces where I hand painted the light. It took a while for me to finish this one, as I had to see how the glowing effects might interact with its surroundings from leaf to leaf.

While in concept, this is a very simple project, it still took some time and turned out way better than I had expected. I don’t think I will ever move on from this style of super dark contrast against the light. It just tells stories so well, or in this case, just creates a beautiful scene that stops the mind in its tracks. At least that is the hope, as that is what this piece does for me. I hope it can do the same for others.

Can you imagine what it would be like to walk amongst a glowing garden like this during the night time? As someone who finds it very difficult to sleep at night and wonders about doing my creative work, walking out to a garden such as this would be an unstoppable source of inspiration.
