The theme is Closed Spaces. Such a place is intended for human occupancy or use but has been closed off. The reason for sealing it is forgotten and not apparent.


Here is my alley picture. Your comments are welcome.


In this picture I have tried to create the impression of a closed space without explicitly showing that it is. There are also mysteries: Does the blocked door seal a space inside of the building or block access to the alley -- which space is closed? What was this place? When did people use use it?


Feel free to post your pictures of closed spaces in this thread.

That's a nice image, has a Lovecraft vibe to me; like maybe "whoever" uses the building just needs that little drainpipe.... now


it is a little too dark but that may be my monitor


EDIT: it looks great on my monitor at home..

It's a good image, gives a nice sense of foreboding... makes me feel like there's a criminal element involved.

Nice atmospheric piece - why is the doorway bricked up? Is it to keep something in or keep something out? The ambiguity creates mystery which makes it interesting.


Well done.

I like this idea of comparing different artists' ways of portraying a mood; better than a challenge for speed. Not that speed modeling doesn't have it's merits, but using those models in a creative scene has more depth and interest.

I'm working on one now.
