	<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://features.cgsociety.org/newgallerycrits/g59/219459/219459_1235647708_small.jpg"><br><br>IKA-R 49/TT 297-P ,use to be called &quot;Icarus&quot; was one of the greates achievements of Makkenian's constructors. With maximum speed about 43 dl and top altidute high above 4000 suppose to be uncatchable and deadly as a Hawk striking from the sky at non expecting anything enemy and then just disapear in the fog. 134 men of crew ,including oficers. 8 torreto-guns and armor thick to -this is still classified- but noless than 15 ek.for sure . This ship has been build to prove high level of technical advance of Makken and ofcourse save them from War against Empire.<br />
It's been destroyed on a very first day of the war by single hit of melting torpedo fired from Imperial new type destroyer . This tragic even show exact disproportions between those two sides as for technical advance. The new imperial S-UN CLASS ship has started completly new age of flying battles . 4 times bigger and twice that faster than &quot;Icarus&quot; ,armored only in 6 torreto guns but useing completly new technology -torpedos -which been able to destroy unit with single hit . It started the war and ended it at the same moment -with the crash of &quot;Icarus&quot; Makkenians has lost all their hopes to win the war. Years after the war they still remember that tragic moment of their history and celebrating &quot;Icarus Day&quot; for most &quot; Icarus&quot; is a patriotic symbol ,but to the others - like poor kids from reformatory ,who use to decorate wrecage before ceremony ,as a part of their re-social convertion-it is a symbol of dreams may come true , to be a hero ,a pilot or even simple soldier - this is their unreacheble dream to make their palce into history and no longer be unnoticable for the High Class... looks like someone has already spotted their presence, it cannot be anything good from that relationship,but this is whole another story..til another chellenge I guess <img src="http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" class="inlineimg" /> <br />

	<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://features.cgsociety.org/newgallerycrits/g59/219459/219459_1229539131_small.jpg"><br><br>another crowdy illustration for FFG<br />
<br />
I just love it when receiveing new game art descriptions ,there is only 10 illustrations to be done but most of them are like &quot; a HUGE army of mounted knights ...&quot;  ,  &quot; LARGE party of footsoldiers chargeing...&quot;  or &quot; epic battle ,THOUSANDS of men fighting their lives&quot;  ... ehh  I wish I could have one set of characters or items for once ,  like &quot; ONE man standing in the room &quot; or &quot; piece of glass on the table&quot; ...<br />
<br />
just kidding  - I love those massive artworks ,far more than &quot;Items&quot; or &quot;locations&quot; as a matter of fact they were my regular assiments when I was starting at FFG couple years ago . It is just funny every time I imagine how  they deal with art assigments in FFG art department -&quot;what you got there?- A battle ? -o yeah give it to that polish dude ,he can handle&quot; or &quot; A huge cavalry wing ,huh? - Couldn't that be done but this Tomek-guy? - I belive he has few battles already- then a few hundreds of knights more wouldn't  make any differece to him,right ?-yeah ,right <img src="http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" class="inlineimg" /> &quot; <br />
I hope they will forgive me these little blasemy here, in fact I know how those assiments looks like from FFG art director directly ,so maybe I am little  exaggerating but just a little. <br />

hold on ,a few more coming..]]>

<br />
My design pictures the 12 th sister as a oldest of all ,most experienced in witch craft and spell , so she gained (as only) a right to speak in the demon's name. Called also a &quot;Horn &quot; or &quot;Voice of the demons&quot;.]]>

	<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://features.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/219459/219459_1220391372_small.jpg"><br><br>This is one failed...entry to Uplift Universe CGS Challenge. I just couldn't decide to join the contest because of tons of work on my desk and besides it - I just installed brand new doors in our flat <img src="http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" class="inlineimg" /> But once I joined the challenge I did produce two images.Here's the first one as a result of some  questions been on my mind while reading some fragments of Brin's book here on CGS (my copy of book is on the way) I wonder if the book will answer my questions ,I doubt it but we will see about that. One of these question is are we happier Uplifted (considering we've been uplifted by some inteligent civilization,god or whatever  in our past ) personally I think I could be much more happy if I were just left alone in the middle  of grassy green field with my love just as we been created.  <br />
Ok we have another story here , two theories of creation and eveolution been struggling for years -who has right? in my opinion one doesn't have to exclude the other - we could be engeenered to evolve from monkeys to homo errectus then &quot;created&quot; to intelligent homosaphiens,that way  the theory of God's creation is a missing link in ..eveolution theory's missing link ... there you go , the mistery of all times been explained ,from now on the God and Science walks the same path ..he he <br />
<br />
Am I crazy , talking rubbish ? SURE -but what the hell ,  after all questioning our existence is the main reason for life...plus those which already been explained by &quot;Month Python's flying circus&quot; ..<br />
<br />
&quot; And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire flashing up, so that a brightness was round about it; and out of the midst thereof as the colour of electrum, out of the midst of the fire.<br />
<br />
And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.&quot;<br />

	<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://features.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/219459/219459_1197565529_small.jpg"><br><br>*Before I go to Image description I would like to make small request <br />
:<br />
Dear Friends ,what will be Your rateing on this Image it really does not matter(not that much at least) ,but I DO care about Your opinion ,so if you vote 1 star PLEASE add few word comment of Yours same as those giveing 4-5 stars does. If You are afraid to comment on public then send me a private message. Thank You.<br />
<br />
now lets go back to live*<br />
<br />
<br />
They started to build their &quot;company&quot; last year. We were all supprised how fast they growing strong, organized. Now they are building fleet , they have weapons and they are figthing back . And the most important ...they found the way to breed again.<br />
<br />
And this is a last one of these . All five were made for some purpose but at  the end I left without  job done and no payment again.I guess some People Can (not) Fly. So I decided to show them here , at least my work won't be useless. Each artwork description I figured out by myself durring uploading progress, is a 5 episode story about some ancient alien culture which were buried somewhere on Earth. One day people discovered them ,and make fatal decision to bring them on live again. Aliens take control on the planet for years exploating its resources. Finally small resistance group calling themselfs &quot;west tradeing company&quot;  found a way to fight them back.. How will this end? I don't know ,...Is it stupid story ? ... hell yeah : ) but believe me it is better than orginal story provided by my client.<br />
<br />
I'm going to upload some few more images till the end of this year -some projects made this year but couldn't be exposed earlier like this one. Then I decided to quit freelanceing ,if you red this above You won't blame me for that decision, I 'm sick of these. <br />
But I'm not quitting painting on no (sorry folks <img src="http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" class="inlineimg" /> ) , Next year I'm going to make Venhelis real finally .<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas to All<br />

	<link>http://morano.cgsociety.org/gallery/563447</link>
	<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://features.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/219459/219459_1220391553_small.jpg"><br><br>For some time I take  lot of inspirations from the past, my country , humanity generally or whatever but past. Maybe because I'm little scared looking into the future  of humankind and try to freeze that moment our civilization acctually is and  keep  it  for next generation as it still have some values worth to speak of before they vanish .<br />
<br />
With this simple image I'd like to take You for a trip into distance...no, that wasn't that long ago at all, dark...hmm, yes we were back then so called &quot;pagans&quot; but we had culture, believes , rules and we knew love also,so it wasn't that bad at all too. Ok , I will take You to mistic journey not so long ago in not so bad times when our faters' fathers used to live in harmony with nature and respect to their Gods and fear to their Demons. <br />
<br />
One of these Demons was Leszy , Lord and Keeper of the forest....unfortunatelly (for Leszy)  a man Demon is not so atractive to paint for a male artist as defenatelly His wife could be. So before I finish my entrie &quot;slavonic Gods and demons art book by Morano &quot; (some day) lets just start with Leszy's wife first.<br />
<br />
The Slavonic tales describes Leszy and his wife Lesovica as demons, ghosts but  going in to fun, fool or just scare  rather than kill a lost wanderer ,somewhere in deep forest. Sometimes to pass safetly next to Leszy was enought to make Him laugh with simple joke (for example wearing your clothers left side). However Leszy and Lesovica suppose to be spirits of people who died in the forest , probably killed by animal or starvation when lost. So those characters are not so funny as we might think.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
In my version of Lesovica is more like forest guardian ,powerfull ,well build warrior , a mix beetween human and animal ,yet misty like ghost or mirrage vanishing in forest and air, and still little provocative or even sexy ,isn't she?<img src="http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" class="inlineimg" /> Some may argue with me about this vision , but this is my vision and I won't go into any polemics until he/she shows me another to prove mine is wrong.<br />
<br />

	<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://features.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/219459/219459_1220391620_small.jpg"><br><br>Now, the &quot;strange behavior&quot; chellenge is closed. Before the Jury would get into their voteing, I 'd like to know your oppinion about this illustration . Here's orginal story behind this image again:<br />
<br />
&quot;trange Behavior -hmm , can be everything ...and nothing, and I just love subjects like that - Once you read this title the gate to your imagination is wide open. And when you open that door really strange things might happen. So this was my idea for this challenge, pretty bad I didn't have time to take a part in this challenge because of some usuall things bothering me every day. Finally i found some time and just few days before deadline. A little extension of it was a plus ,as you can see im uploading final 2 days after previous deadline :/ . The main idea was described in WIP , but once more in short: I was trying to create my own version of Goya's &quot;Sleep of reason produces monsters&quot; , repleacing monsters with my own &quot;nightmares&quot; ,coz what else can be more &quot;strange&quot; than human mind itself and what can behave more strange that human imagination? - but don't worry is not that serious as it looks , as a matter of fact I was trying to be as much ironic as possible and make some fun of me and my life, because after all those &quot;nightmares&quot; which I illustrated here are meaning of my life and I love them. I don't think I should explain who they are each one of them , or should I? The Husar in the right corner , obviously my addict to military ,history paintings, He's standing there and checking if I felt asleep already or just thinking about new illustration, with sabre ready to cut my head of if my illustration will be too much &quot;fatasy&quot; insted &quot;history accurate &quot; , this guy is pain in my ...fingers. Next we have my long legged friend called &quot;high heels fetish&quot; - shes keep asking me about new pinup illustration all the time as I have nothing else to do <img src="http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" class="inlineimg" /> And finally strange person sitting on a side of the bed , we can't see her face but i guess you did recognize her at first sight. Poor Bess Khala ,she's not even bothering me anymore to paint , I guess she lost all her faith that her story will be ever painted ... And so did I :(&quot;]]>

This girl become a legend , a curse and the most powerfull Lord of the Second Empire , and all other lands where soldiers of the Svadren Aaden fought in her name about 4873 g.a. Railla Karnokailen aka Red Baroness in Empire lands ,also known as Cold Steel on western lands. But mostly called simply &quot;bitch&quot; or &quot;w...worst&quot; by all others who has this unpleasent opportunity to meet her personally. This girl was a paradox of these days, for many- was a hero, a traitor- for few,an only love- for one. For young  ladies in Empire she was an idol , they paint symbols on their faces with maskara to copy Railla's tatoos , Boys and Men   couldn't sleep thinking both to love her or join her troops. She was a Hero climbing on her fame, status and careere ladder very fast while spreading only hate and death all over the Epire's enemies the same time <br />
She came from Makken as a mercenary -after few spectacular battles she was spotted by Emperor's generals.  Soon she become most powerfull leader of the army. When her personal guard was stronger then even Emperor's she became too dangerous. Emperor had to protect his own majesty even his personal feelings to her were stronger than worries. She surrvived assaination attempt and escaped . Joined her troops   tryied to establish own monarchy in conquered provicens on the north of Kanel. That made her old fathers- Makkens , her new enemies. They sned their own army to capture her and egecute as a traitor and Empire servant. Surounded by Makken and EMpire she fought but lost -for the first time. She tryied to salvage to Hamperia but the road was very long and her army was loseing men very fast. The Legend says she died in the mountains but her body were never found. They say her Deamon will return 1000 times worst nad anger. Bad or no ,she  is still most famous Bess Khaala of all times.  ]]>

But You might be thinking that she  always been so bad -no no no. Of course she wasn't ,she was a child once - acctually the whole story starts when she is 12. Unfortuatelly it was rather short childhood but it was quite happy before she get in troubles. So here it is another concept of Neidden Khun,take a good look at this little devil  so You can recognize her when You'll see the story published. <br />

story? no story this time....today it will be a song which inspired me this time.<br />
<br />
&quot;Walking through an old lifeless churchyard <br />
I saw her standing there-Leaning over an epitaph<br />
Chilly wind is winnowing my sould-<br />
what are we doing here?-this place is demon's home<br />
Memories are blowing up my head!<br />
Can i try to understand- who's commited to be earth?<br />
Now i see evil pictures of my life<br />
drinking fury ,anger ,rope..should I look for any hope?<br />
Deep mourning,flowers and lights on this grave<br />
All i s gone now -things will never be the same<br />
sculptured letters in the gravestone are like a brand on my soul<br />
Like the poison from her heart<br />
she's wailing -&quot;why did you harm your own name?<br />
Please come back to me-my life will never be the same...&quot;<br />
the line of my life fade away in the dark <br />
-O god give me strength now-Im lost in lifeless park<br />
Im just one of million cards ripped away -by god-<br />
from the book of life<br />
<br />
Walking through an old lifeless churchyard<br />
I saw Death laughing there-leaning over my epithaph-my epitaph?<br />
chilly Sins are winnowing my soul<br />
- what am i doing here?-this place is my new home...<br />
Im wailing &quot;why did I harm my own name?&quot;<br />
Pain comes back to me -her life will never be the same<br />
The line of my life fade away in the dark<br />
O god give me strength now-im lost in lifeless park<br />
Im just one of million cards ripped away -by God <br />
from the book of life<br />
<br />
I beheld a pale horse and his name-that sat on him was Death<br />
and hell followed with them-and I saw another mighty angel come<br />
Now I start to understand -we wil never be the same..&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;epitph&quot;    from  Mind Gate &quot;spiral&quot;<br />
<br />
I also like to thank to my sister for help in this one. ]]>
