digital artist 2009 award video...

here's a little video that I took just as I arrived at the place very late .
I thought that I've missed everything and was prepared to drink a glass of champagne and that's it...
But no,They presented my category just in time!
I couldn't resist to make a running-gag joke:)

THE WHITE SWORD

Every two years, a sacrifice must be made.

So a young woman ,shall be taken into the dark cave inhabited by an indestructible and unknown entity.

The man she loves is gone to seek advice.
he found out that only a weapon forged with light could destroy the entity, but only at the precise moment where he releases his arm from his chaotic world to seize its victim ...

The victim believes to be abandoned ... but his valiant warrior was waiting for the right moment to strike

I, Mother Earth

Mankind vanished from the earth and went to another planet centuries ago , leaving behind ruins and ashes, an extremely polluted atmosphere ... a dead planet.

They left, leaving behind the huge statue of Gaia;Mother Earth, in a gigantic dome containing the last relics of nature (seeds, etc...)

Centuries later, against all odds, nature has reclaimed it’s right and these innocent animals have unwittingly found the source of this miraculous revival ...

BLACK MOON CEREMONY

Every 127 years,the black moon appears.

this mysterious celestial object is the signal for the Dark monks to gather at this secret tower.

After a long pilgrimage ,it's time for an unknown ceremony that's about to resurrect dead warriors in order to create a merciless and invincible army...

After the giants war...

Once there were giants walking on this earth, fighting each other...fighting for what? For whom? Nobody knows...it was such a long time ago, it has all been forgotten in the shadows of time...now, those almost indestructible shells are the foundations of newborn cities...

That was my entry for the "newborn" contest at conceptart.

This is a place in between worlds...a place for the burning souls...a place where THE GATE is waiting...waiting and calling...soon , a new world will host them...a dark or light one...only the gate knows...

at the mountains of madness

inspiration comes from HP lovecraft:lost in the silent cold in the middle of nowhere ,cyclopeans ruins were build for eons ...full of dark secrets unknown to mankind...
