I wonder if you have ever considered a subscription service that allows readers to view the high resolution images? i.e. donate.. buy a book or something and get a keycode that unlocks the high res feature for 6 months or a year or something. Just a thought. Like the little rocks falling from one of the pillar pieces is not visible at all in the smaller image. I think some people might like something like that.
I saw those! We really do appreciate it indeed, all the time and effort you and your group put into this 🙂
And like one commenter said, even if we don’t see the tiny details, they truly do make a difference in the end result. That’s what makes The Dreamland Chronicles not “fake”-looking like what you might see in an beginner’s work. This is the real stuff! It definitely does help to have all these little details pointed out though, like things in a beautiful landscape that somebody beside you points out, that makes you go, “Oh yeah, hey!” Kind of seeing it while not seeing it, I suppose (if that makes sense).
I didn’t notice the impending storm – but I did see the cracks and bubbles .. I love details and this is an awesome way of showing your hard work! Hats off to you sir!
At a second glance, that DOES look like a very uncomfortable swimming pose – chin first instead of nose first, that requires a VERY flexible neck… oh, I guess I just realized why she has such a long one! ;-D
I don’t think it’s so much us noticing that they are there, I think it’s a case of if they weren’t there, we would have noticed and gone, “Um… Something missing. Not sure what, but something looks AWKWARD.” Bubbles and cracks especially are those sort of things that most people can’t put their thumb on why they are important. As for the storm, I have a feeling there would have been an otherwise empty piece of foreground there bugging the HECK out of me and several of the other art-minded people.
My recommendation is: never skimp on details you can afford. Submerge your audience in more detail than they can absorb, and they will come back for more.

Very good idea Richard

Blubbles!

There’s beauty in the details.

Exactly! It wouldn’t be the awesome Dreamland Chronicles quality otherwise!
the storm is too small to be seen the 1st time
