Clocks Beyond Time

Member : Seb_3D

Image description
No clock can truly capture the grandeur of time. Being man made objects, clocks can only reflect man's understanding of time but, time is eternal and it is defined by one force; gravity. The force of gravity has been shaping our universe from its beginnings and will continue to do so until the end. The perfect clock man has ever designed was the hour-glass because it used this fundamental force of the universe. The only problem with this design were its apparent limitations to the physical realm, being able to capture but an infinitesimally small fraction of time. This is my interpretation of how time escapes the physical barriers of this ancient clock.

1.   25-02-2009 Love the image and the idea of a dandelion in space. Modelled, textured and rendered superbly. The only possible crit - I'm uncertain about the glass of the hourglass - does the top bit look odd just because it's got nothing to reflect? 2.   23-02-2009 Very well done and great composition. 3.   23-02-2009 Nicely done on the texturing. 4.   23-02-2009 I lreally like what you've done on the left with the blue clouds. It kind of looks like the side of a mountain, and gives a sense of large scale. Nice image. 5.   18-02-2009 The best artistic of this round for me. 6.   18-02-2009 Beautiful! (This is *rendered*?? Geez!). Really needs the text to remain on-topic though.
