Each gemstone you do gets better and better. They look so real, I want to touch them and feel the texture. I love the design of this.. Another excelent image..

This is excellent Nathan. I love how you used the clouds in the background. I can't draw a stickman if my life depended on it, so this is truely art!

Excellent design, Nathan !

Hello Nathan, that's really something!
The thirst thought that came to my mind is that of double recognition. Your ancient memory seems to have a mixture of two types of arts of which I am really fond and have some works at my home (most replicas). The first is that of Mayan art, because of your use of symbols and gems and the outer rings. The second is the symmetrie and choise of colors on the inner ring which shows similarities in the art of the indians who still make and sell their arts on Vancouver Island. Maybe a challenge for your next work?
Anyway, great job! D.

Mayan art that was the name I was looking for here! thx Paul! Love it Nathan! It is great to see different versatile artist's talent!:0))!

Most Excellent!

A beautiful image excellently rendered. I'd call it more Hopi than Maya. Bravo!

Well, I was thinking Hopi when I created it, but I'm not an expert on native American culture. Thanks for taking time to comment, everyone. I really appreciate your feedback.

As always, your talent and abilities to create such pretty images just astounds me. If I ever get to be even 1/4 a good as you, i will consider it a great accomplishment indeed!

Beautifully conceived and executed. It just says WEST, again and again, and symbolizes the clean, open spaces and skies and the bones of the land showing through.

Wonderful colors and textures...and I like the symetrical design. I can't wait to se some more of this type of work.

Another great image, yet again from you! I can't believe you made most of it up in PhotoShop, great job! :D

Jenn, Mike, Robert, and Emmebox - thanks for taking time to comment. I'm not sure about how good I am, Jenn - I'm still learning and progressing. I'm totally awed by many of the artists on this site. I like being part of this community. And, yes, it is pretty much Photoshop work all the way. Thanks again.

Reminds me of something from the Aztec times. I like the rocky texture look you gave the outside of the image.

This is great. Thi Hopi inspiration is very apparent! I like the cloud backdrop. Softens the rock aspect.

Fabulous! I know an Native American Indian who is going to love this

This is absolutey awesome.... it baffles me that you created this from scratch (Okay it baffles me how the heck you do it!). This is beatiful. I am a good portion Indian myself and my living room decor would love this added to the artwork! Awesome job!

Thanks, my friends. :) Have a great day.

Superb yet again.

I saw this on the frontpage and simply had to come and tell you how gorgeous I think this is:) It looks indian to me as well and I love it !!!

that would make a nice belt buckel

I absolutely LOVE this! GREAT job!!

Looks like an ancient tape deck direction meter...LOL..Really nice image really :-D
