An alien landscape populated by floating creatures which use the gas in the atmosphere to float - by compressing and releasing it - like submarines do.
The atmosphere is dense made by a mixture of ignitible fluids.
The gigantic mushrooms serve as hives for these creatures.
I was thinking that they could reproduce by eggs, but..

..take a look at STEP 6 I would like to know your opinion :D. (5 years and 3027 days ago)

Winter was trapped in a glass egg, from which it now escapes in order to reestablish its reign
Feeling the chill in the air the birds are leaving. It's time to put the gloves on and prepare for the cold season.

Season, Trapper

Just commenting on the image itself: The belt of icicles is too wide, it needs to shrink to the circumference of the egg shape. The shadows seem too dark. The blue hue on the dome seems too artificial...would be better if it were toned down to seem more naturally transparent, and the highlight on the left side should go, since the light source is from the right. Everything else works pretty well.

author says:

I'll fix the blue hue & shadows, the icicles stand on the support of the egg ( you can see it in step 4, and the second hightlight is the reflection of the sun on the other part of the egg glass - i thought it would be more realistic this way, like when you see a sun reflection on a double window.

i really love the concept...! favorited!

author says:

I updates shadows & hue a while ago - forgot to comment- thumb up CMYK for me

arca says:

Very detailed image ... a lot of work went into this one. I agree with CMYK but see you have been busy since I first looked at it. Very good. Forgot to mention ... I love the hole in the dome ... is that where Winter is escaping from?

author says:

Yup, there are some icicles on it too. Sanctuary, someone thumbed you down, someone either doesn't like you or that you like this image, lol. Watch your back, pal .
