I really appreciate that! I don't know about glazing, it sound good to me! But I am a bit bias. lol

Thanks!

Any subject you want to see? let me know and I will make one dedicated to you. 😄

A solitary desert archivist standing inside a half-buried stone archive at dusk, rendered as an original fantasy illustration, the figure wrapped in layered mineral-white robes with indigo lining, wind-frayed hems, bronze clasps, and translucent scroll cases hanging from a cross-body harness, their shaved head marked with fine ochre ink diagrams and one hand holding a cracked sun disk etched with tiny glyphs, while collapsed shelves, broken tablets, and drifting gold dust fill the chamber and a slit opening reveals dunes under a pale copper sky; the surfaces read matte and chalky with worn bronze edges and brittle paper fibers, warm low sun enters from camera right and grazes the stone relief, leaving the figure in sculpted half-shadow, composed as a three-quarter character study at 50mm equivalent with the subject centered slightly left, foreground fragments anchoring the lower frame, and the ruined archive falling back into dry amber haze.

A close watchmaker’s bench covered with a partially disassembled astronomical clock, its brass gears, blued screws, ruby pivots, fine springs, and engraved plates laid out in ordered clusters on a dark felt mat beside precision tweezers, a loupe, small oilers, and a notebook with measured sketches, while faint fingerprints and polishing haze remain on the larger metal surfaces; a single task lamp from camera left creates tight highlights along the gear teeth and gentle falloff into the darker wood grain of the bench, with the background tools softened into blur, photographed as a macro craft study at 90mm around f/3.2 with shallow depth of field, focus locked on the central escapement assembly, and the composition built from concentric mechanical forms, metallic edge detail, and disciplined workshop spacing.

An empty neighborhood boxing gym after training, centered on a worn ring with frayed ropes, taped corner pads, chalk smears on the canvas, and dark sweat marks near the middle, while heavy bags hang motionless in the background beside a speed bag platform, stacked medicine balls, and a row of dented metal lockers along the wall; cool daylight falls through high windows in narrow bands and mixes with warm overhead fixtures, leaving the room low and quiet with soft dust suspended in the air, photographed as an atmospheric interior study at 35mm around f/2.8 with moderate depth of field, eye-level framing from just outside the ropes, the ring held as the clear anchor, and the gym receding into layered equipment and dim back-wall texture.

A long greenhouse aisle filled with orchids at peak bloom, their petals ranging from pale cream to saturated magenta and rust, arranged on weathered slatted benches with clay pots, damp moss, and labeled stakes, while condensation beads across the glass panes and runs in thin vertical trails, droplets clinging to leaves and aerial roots under a soft veil of morning humidity; diffuse overcast light filters through the wet roof and creates shadowless wrap across waxy petals, glossy leaves, and the damp concrete path, photographed as a botanical interior study at 35mm around f/3.5 with moderate depth of field, eye-level framing, the central aisle acting as a lead through layered plant density, and the far glass wall dissolving into pale mist and softened foliage.

A narrow bakery prep table before sunrise, lined with trays of freshly laminated pastries in staggered rows, the croissant surfaces deeply bronzed with crisp flaky layers, softened butter sheen, and scattered flour dust across brushed stainless steel, with cooling racks, folded linen towels, a wooden rolling pin, and an open deck oven casting a warm amber spill into the dim room; early blue daylight leaks through a small back window and mixes with the oven glow, creating warm highlights on the pastry ridges and cooler shadow mass around the workbench, photographed as an intimate food and craft study at 50mm around f/2.8 with shallow depth of field, focus held on the front tray and nearest flakes, a low eye-level camera position, and the table stretching away in clean perspective through a quiet predawn kitchen.

I'm putting together a website for my work, but I need endorsements from the public.

I don't want just lip service. I would love for some genuine and real quotes from anyone who has been positively affected by what I am doing here on BlueSky.

Thanks!

The Africa in It A richly designed African/American music trivia game built from If the Music Sounds American, Listen for the Africa in It.

I'm teaching myself to code (with Codex).
I wrote a music series about how all American music can be traced back to Africa, at some level.

So, I made a trivia game, based on it. You can also read the whole series. Let me know what you think!

A tall cephalopod-headed humanoid figure standing in shallow harbor water, rendered as a dark fantasy illustration with matte painted surfaces, crisp contour drawing, and soft atmospheric blending, the body built from deep blue-black organic armor with sharp shoulder fins, ribbed torso plates, slick membrane-like seams, a long tapering head, small white glowing eyes, and narrow facial tendrils falling over the chest, while rows of luminous bead-like nodes run down the sternum, arms, and clawed fingers, casting a cold internal glow through the form; chains, straps, and small hanging pouches gather at the waist above a long torn skirt dissolving into mist, with reeds and reflective water in the foreground, a lighthouse and harbor structures fading into pale blue-gray fog behind, cool diffuse night haze flattening the distance and keeping the background low contrast, the figure held as a full-length central anchor with strong silhouette separation against the open mist, and the harbor lights and lighthouse acting as small secondary scale cues behind the luminous creature.

A towering horned humanoid entity standing front-facing in shallow rainwater among broken coastal ruins, with a long pale skull-like head, narrow glowing eyes, heavy violet tentacles hanging from the face, broad spiked shoulder plates, layered belts and chains across the waist, thick armored bracers, and a torn sleeveless outer garment over a dark blue-gray body built from exposed ribbed structure and hard plated surfaces, while tall reeds, cracked stone, and a ruined cylindrical tower rise behind under a cold storm sky with a blown white moon or cloud break; rendered as a dark fantasy illustration with sharp inked contours, cel-shaded planes, restrained blue-violet palette, rain streaks falling in clean vertical marks, matte armor surfaces with selective edge highlights, and strong silhouette control, the figure filling most of the frame as the dominant central anchor while the tower and broken shoreline architecture hold the right background and the flooded ground provides a pale reflective base beneath the creature.

A dark Gothic observatory study opening onto a towering pointed-arch window with a circular oculus above, the interior built from blackened wood paneling, carved columns, scattered books, a writing desk, a simple chair, brass astronomical instruments, and large telescopes framing the sides, while candles burn low in warm amber clusters and the window reveals layered mountain silhouettes beneath a saturated crimson and violet sky dense with stars and a bright low sun or planet near the horizon; the room surfaces read as polished but age-darkened wood with soft specular edges, paper stacks and instrument metal catching small highlights, and the window mullions holding a sharp silhouette against the luminous sky, with cool celestial light pouring inward from the opening and mixing with candlelight to create deep shadow mass, warm edge glow on the furniture, and a strong vertical pull through the architecture, composed as an atmospheric interior study at 35mm around f/2.8 with moderate depth of field, eye-level framing, the window held as the dominant central anchor, telescopes and furniture forming darker foreground wings, and the observatory chamber receding into rich red-black depth around the bright sky aperture.

A deserted industrial service road at night leading straight toward a dark volcanic mountain, with wet asphalt, scattered puddles, pipework, scaffolded structures, and utility frames lining both sides of the corridor, thin antenna masts rising at right, and cold blue work lights washing the foreground while a bright crimson ring hangs above the mountain peak in a hazy violet sky, its glow spilling magenta into the mist, with fresh lava breaks and ember-red fire lines tracing the lower slope and reflecting in broken streaks across the soaked ground; the metal surfaces read slick and rain-dark, the air dense with vapor and atmospheric falloff, photographed as a surreal environmental study at 35mm around f/4 with moderate depth of field, vertical framing, eye-level camera placement, strong central perspective from the roadway and industrial walls, the mountain held as the dominant background mass, and the red ring eclipse acting as the high luminous anchor above the caldera.

A ruined stone cathedral court centered on a circular well or basin, with rain-dark flagstones broken by a broad black puddle that mirrors two narrow amber stained-glass windows set deep beneath a pointed arch, while thick columns and rounded side arcades frame the space in worn gray masonry with softened joints, chipped edges, damp staining, and sparse moss growth near the walls; cool overcast light keeps the chamber low contrast and shadowless, the windows hold the only warm accent, and the wet floor carries dense reflective sheen with irregular edges and shallow ripples, photographed as a quiet architectural study at 35mm around f/4 with moderate depth of field, eye-level framing, strong central symmetry, the basin held as the foreground anchor, and the arch, windows, and side colonnades receding into layered stone depth behind.

A gaunt blue-gray humanoid figure seated cross-legged on worn stone steps at the edge of a pale green basin inside a vast ruined cavern, with short white hair, pointed ears, a narrow face, pronounced rib and sternum structure, wrapped forearms, and dark heavy drapery gathered at the waist and pooling around the legs, while sheer rock walls rise on both sides with trailing vines, broken masonry, and softened ledges framing a high opening filled with dense luminous specks like reflected waterlight or suspended glow, and a small cluster of warm candles burns low at the right edge; rendered as a dark fantasy illustration with matte painted surfaces, layered atmospheric haze, restrained blue-green palette, cool diffuse cavern light falling from above, warm ember accents kept near the ground plane, the seated figure held low and centered as the main anchor beneath the bright overhead opening, and the rocky enclosure fading upward into mist and textured stone depth.
