Spooky. Honestly it was creepy when I was just looking at it, but then scanning back and forth across the image, with your chosen music playing, I'm transported back to the first time I played MNOG, and I was hopelessly lost int he forest. A Kid playing a video game, I feared my character would be trapped forever.



I'm terrified, trapped in a still-smoldering world, choking on ash and dust, no idea what way will take me to safety. A misstep could lead to a hollow-burned tree root crumbling under my feet. The world is gray and I cannot see far. Is it just me, or do all the paths go the same way?



Forest fires burn and smolder deep in the hearts of roots and under ground for a long time, a gust of wing could reignite the blaze. The calls of birds in the game ease the fear some, but its so easy to imagine them all falling silent, or their calls rising up in a panicked cacophony, and you are left to wonder, spinning in place, which is the right way to flee. What is out there, in the shades of grey?

The dull smoldering trees are a fantastic touch, and remind me or real burned out areas I've seen. When you glance back and forth over the image, they might seem to flicker out of the corner of your eye, and it adds to the unease of the drawing. the shading and texture on the burnt trees is realistic and striking. This is a fantastic atmospheric piece and I want to know more about the matoran in the distance, and the strange thing he stands beside, but I fear to approach him.
