【诡秘之主】《分海 - Parting of the Sea》
《分海 - Parting of the Sea》
From:Lord of the Mysteries Volume6 Chapter3 Dusk channel
Amon straightened the monocle that was being worn on the right eye, and gently pulled his left hand to steal the distance from the gate to the monastery.
He and Klein took a step forward at the same time, left the monastery, and reached the edge of the cliff, opposite the projection of the "Giant King's Court" frozen in the dusk.
Klein thought that Amon would follow the process and read the corresponding name. Who knew that he just raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
The sea of clouds separating the two peaks instantly boiled, and separated toward the left and right sides, revealing a dark gap that could not see the bottom.
The "Giant King Ting" projection on the opposite side suddenly absorbed all the dusk light, letting them rush forward, filling the deep gap.
So, between the two peaks, in the misty sea of clouds, an orange-red path of light appeared.
"Let's go." Amon chuckled, and leapt forward from the cliff, in the sound of hunting for clothes, fell to the channel formed by the dusk.
……阿蒙正了正戴于右眼的单片眼镜,左手轻轻一拉, 窃走了这里与修道院大门处的距离。他和克莱恩同时往前走出一步,离开修道院,来到了悬崖边缘,对面就是凝固于黄昏的"巨人王庭"投影。
克莱恩本以为阿蒙接下来会按照流程,念出相应的尊名,谁知袍只是抬起右手,啪地打了个响指。
分隔两座山峰的云海瞬间沸腾了,向着左右两侧分开,露出了一条看不见底部的幽暗缝隙。
对面的"巨人王庭”投影陡然将所有的黄昏光芒吸附了过来,让它们向前奔涌,填平了那道幽深的缝隙。
于是,两座山峰之间,飘渺云海之中,出现了一条橘红色的光之道路。
“走吧。"阿蒙低笑一声, 向前跃下悬崖,在衣物的猎猎声响里落向了那黄昏凝成的通道。

看近期更新的章节可以发现,乌贼描写场景的功力又涨了……每章都有美得令人窒息的风景。作为风景画爱好者,完全能够想象那些画面和迷人的光色变化——然而训练不足,功力有限,很遗憾不能完全把想要的效果表现出来。
这张开始画时有点卡,想不好吸走黄昏的光是个什么情况,画了很多小色稿都不是很满意……于是遇事不决,向大师学习。构图和技法偏向古典油画,整体参考威廉·透纳与弗里德里希的绘画作品。
这张尝试在数字媒体上模仿油画遮罩法,用多层上色以丰富色彩层次。效果还成。从混沌的色块里,慢慢勾勒出景色,确实是个令人享受无比的过程。
