Description

Working with Lightwave (the background), Plant Factory (the foliage) and Vue (for the rendered environment) here. This one isn’t technically a Christmas image but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was used as such. I originally intended to have the Stones serve as a portal to another world but I thought the light competed with the sky for focus. I may add a version with the portal open at a later date.

    Fabulous picture. Just downloaded it onto my iPad.

    I agree with Kody – first thing I thought of were the standing stones dotting the Skyrim landscape. I tend to use the dark WP on my laptop as they tend to be easier on my eyes after hours. Well done, Ryan! Keep them coming!

    Nice colours and seems quite mysterious with the stepping stones leading to the standing stones.

    This is one of my favorite pics and my desktop background. I would love to see a version of this with a full moon replacing the bright lights above the stones. Thank you so much for the beautiful work.

    I love what this does for the imagination, history and distant worlds cross each other at the same time. Very cool.

  6. Chris Heins [liferplus]

    Very cool. Haunting.

  7. Mark Burgess [lifer]

    … could we have a version without the bright lights in the sky? It’s a bit much for me. Thank you!

    Another awesome job! I’m really into using darker wallpapers right now and this one fits the bill. A mix of Avatar meets Stonehenge!

    This image looks amazing as a triple! (5760×1080) Though I loved “Skygate Night”, it was time for something new. Still, nothing beats the “World’s End” and “Gotham Garden” collections.

    These standing stones are for the space traveler. Eerie looking.

  11. Mark A. [liferplus]

    Ryan, are you working on the lossless version for this one?

  12. Phineas [basicmember]

    A curious mixture of Christmas and Halloween!

    This is a stunning work of imagination, it really is, but visually I find it overwhelming – my brain doesn’t know whether to react to the energy and chaos of the sky and glowing plants, or the brooding mystery of the stones and water. I would love to see the scene with the galaxy out of frame so I can take in the stones and their surroundings.

    Ryan, I’ve always loved your planetscapes and nightscape artwork. This one is no different.

  15. Suzanne [lifer]

    I love the fine details of the landscape here, especially the texture of the misty water, and the lights on the ground (will-o-wisps?) The standing stones make a nice point of focus. Any chance of a pickle jar version without the big starry swirl in the middle? It would be a very peaceful, kind of pleasantly eerie wallpaper without that.

    Ryan, as always I love the views into your imagination. My favorite features are the ribbon-like trees and the lights of the ground foliage. I second the notion that shifting the focus to the stones and dialing down the sky could be a great alternative version. To detail my personal preference when I see this piece: I want to imagine walking to those stones to see what adventure may awaken if I dare get near them! (or if I press the select key per Kody’s suggestion)

    Honestly reminds me of the standing stones around skyrim 🙂

  18. Xetal [liferplus]

    And I like the idea of a portal when you can get round to it

  19. Ozaawaagosh [basicmember]

    Love the Other-worldly of this one, the colours and shadows work well together Great Job Ryan

  20. John [basicmember]

    Love the concept! I’ve always been a fan of your “otherworldly” work and this is in the top ten.

  21. Littlemom [liferplus]

    not a personal favorite. I just think it’s way to busy. But I do like the concept, just with less stuff in it
