Description

This will be the deviation that I submit to the =Myst-fanclub's "Stranger Than Ever" contest! I love drawing storms, and I love the Stoneship Age. Maybe I should have tried this one first! :D

So--here is the Stranger in Stoneship, making his way to the telescope at the top of the slippery, very high scaffolding that hasn't been maintained in who knows how long. That has to be a rough climb--especially if it's windy and raining.

RealMYST's Stoneship Age was awesome--with the rain and lightning, so I based this picture on that...with just a bit of enhancement! :D I never need much of an excuse to draw a storm, and Stoneship was the perfect Age for it. Yellowish skies, gusting winds, lighting, and lots of rain. Perfect.

The light o the lighthouse is not on because when I played this, it was forever before I figured out how to get inside it! So I discovered the telescope first.

I worked several hours on this over two or three days, and I am very pleased with the outcome. It's probably one of my best. : )

Edit: I have fixed a few things about this picture, including some of the anatomy on the figure, and the pesky sharp line on the horizon. (Thanks, ~kittyninjafish and *ShuffleStar for that last one. And blurring it worked fine!)

A beautiful rendition of the Age of Stoneship from RealMyst. You have truly managed to capture the Stranger's struggle against the rain as well as the drama of the storm itself. The detail is incredible, and makes me feel like I am there.

I've only played the original and Myst Masterpiece, none of which run on the newer computers. I've been holding off to purchase RealMyst and Riven from gog.com as a reward for losing weight. However, I have played the RealMyst Stoneship demo.

Thank you for drawing, and take care!
