Lucidus Ordo

La lumière du phare d’Alexandrie fait naufrager les papillons de ma jeunesse…

This is the Pharos, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, in the way it was almost 2000 years ago. The roman ship is called Navis Oneraria, a merchant boat used to bring goods to the Urbs, Rome. This one is going to Eternal City, carrying grain from the fertile Egypt. I try this time with this picture to be the most accurate I could. This place really did exist, I couldn’t do what I wanted, and so I did a lot of research. The Pharos, as you may know, was one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World. With his 135 meters high, it was quite a sight to behold!

As always, Corel Painter 8 was used, with some Photoshop CS for minor effects. Two weeks of work.

You can see the lineart of this here: [link]

Thanks for viewing my picture :)

:faint: Wow, it has a whole different feel to it when it's coloured...So much more atmosphere... The lighthouse looks so real, like I could almost reach out and touch it. It really must have been magnificent to behold. I think you captured it wonderfully. Probably my favourite part (besides the boat which I already said how much I liked in the lineart version) and the lighthouse (obviously, because the lighthouse is amazing) is the water. It looks very much alive, not like the dull ocean you usually sea (XDD). The reflections off it are very well done and I love the myriad of colours of which it's comprised. The sky is very beautiful too with all the colours... May I ask if it's dawn or dusk? I think you may have mentioned it previously but I've since forgotten. ^_^;;

Definitely a top-notch piece of work. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. ^^

Most excellent! The ripple effects in the water catch my eye first, but that ship is awesome in its detail. Really nice sense of mood portrayed all throughout the colours. The butterflies a cool touch. =)

Now, this turned out very well! :D I can see you changed the woman's pose, hehe. I think that's for the best, anyway. And it looks good. :D
Keep it up! :D
