Heyo,

as I did with the Birch Gate, I thought why not get back to this one personal milestone (not in the sense of being technically a masterpiece, but in the style and motive). I remember how different my approach was. I worked really slow and I also was inspired by the cover artworks of Dornenreich.

Closing with three Quotes:

“Some people believe that cloud formations can be omens in and of themselves. Have you ever looked at a cloud and seen something that gave you a sign? Called aeromancy, the use of clouds for divination is a popular form of augury. Rain clouds can symbolize darkness and gloomy feelings, but on a sunny spring day, they can be positive symbols of cleansing.” (Source)

“Clouds in the sky very much resemble the thoughts in our minds! Both change perpetually from one second to another”

-Mehmet Murat ildan

“Clouds, they make a painting out of the sky.”

-Marty Rubin

Stay tuned and inspired,
