Just watch
The road is well traveled...
You said I will fail
But I will be set free
You said I will fall
But I beg to differ...
Caelum awaits

[September 4, 2008]: I don’t think I’m ever going to be 100% satisfied with this piece, but it’s getting better. I’m liking this version more than the last and hey I may for the fourth damn time rework it if I grow tired of it. This piece is always going to be a learning tool for me, that’s why it graces my front page. So enjoy this rework. Thank you.

[January 10, 2008]:Finally, after such a long time I was able to rework on this piece that amazing as it was, there were many mistakes I made that I wanted to rectify. So here you have it, the revamped version of The Road to Caelum, closer to the vision I had when I originally started creating it. So please take some time to look it over and I hope you enjoy this touch-up. Thank you.

[March 9, 2007]: Well this piece is called The Road to Caelum. I first want to say that I may have said that I would not be able to work on this piece for at least another week [from a few days ago], but my schedule changed dramatically leaving me a good amount of time to work on it. This piece is meant to be the follow-up of Genesis. I wanted this piece to include a terrain stock within it as I was not able to blend one in well with Genesis forcing me to scrap that part. I was stunned at the final size of the Photoshop file for this piece as it is a whopping 163 megabytes. I also wanted to work with asteroids on this piece as I didn’t use them in Genesis at all and I’ve been meaning to try my hand at an asteroid field.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few ending notes I have to say is that this was a really big challenge for me and I feel even more confident working with large scale pieces and this piece really showed me patience as I had to repeatedly re-work many parts that didn’t fit right, which was frustrating at first, but worth it. Also I uploaded a higher resolution Jpeg file which will allow this piece to be clear as a print. Thank you.

1. :iconoffering: For the wonderful image called On The Road, a superb piece. I thank him for allowing me permission to use it.
2. :iconshirosynth: For some asteriod stocks (The large ones)

4. `dinyctis, despite the fact that I did not see his piece until weeks after mine was done, and since his awesome piece Space Lane came way before mine, I credit the concept to him because his came first.

Enjoy. Full view is worth the wait. :D
