Saavedro all alone in this vast lesson Age called J'nanin.

This one was pretty hard to paint, especially all the rocks everywhere. Some details were added with pens.
The painting was too big (A3) for my little scanner, so I had to scan some parts separately. This is why you see some strange edges on the picture. Shame on me.

While working on this painting, I was one day listening to some metal, and suddenly burst out laughing when I heard this lyrics in the song Heartbreak Armageddon (what a title LOL) by Dragonforce :

Silently we stand in a long forgotten wasteland
Rise through the lost ages hope they will bring
Free forever more and the dream will never die
Devastation, a lost connection, a beatdown man returns
So confused and alone for one more time
Crushed defeated, the fog surrounding, a prisoner trapped inside

"Hey, stop telling Saavy's story, I already know it" I said aloud I especially love the line about the "fog surrounding"

Dédicace spéciale pour Faeliscity :]

Of course I don't own Myst. But Myst owns

EDIT 1st december 2008:

I have slightly enhanced this painting lately.
- Now we can see the Voltaic tusk (it simply wasn't there).
- The stairs and some details have been re-made because they were not good.
- Light/shadow on Saavedro is better.
And I also re-scanned it, so we don't see any edge on it anymore

But every time I look at this picture: [link] , I realize that this painting still needs improvements. I mean, it's hanging on my wall. I see it everyday. And I often stare at it, thinking something like "oh my god this detail is just plain wrong". It makes me sad and quite irritated too. Therefore I may re-edit Exiled in the future to make it looks more like what I want it to be.
