Artistic screenshot gallery
« on: July 30, 2013, 03:03:51 am »
Welcome good sirs and madams to the Artistic screenshot gallery. So, while the regular screenshot gallery can be for screenshots of a generally amusing nature, including things like hilarious glitches and easter eggs, this is a place to present screenshots of a wholly artistic nature, along with a meaningful and impressive sounding caption, like a philosopher's quote (I play a lot of Civ V) or an overly alliterated sentence.

I have already presented several to the standard gallery. Here is a catch up of my pieces.

A beautiful sunset silhouette of a soaring Pyramidion.


"Time crumbles things; everything grows old and is forgotten under the power of time." - Aristotle


What evils lurk within the eyrie of this forgotten city look hungrily down at wounded prey.


The shadows of Titans do battle in the mists.


Geese, being mere animals, have no understanding of the concept of battles or wars. But they still know, like all beasts know, that where fire goes, bad things follow.


"I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving." - Oliver Wendell Holmes


"The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable." - Sun Tzu



Now, let us see what kind of gallery of masterpieces we, as a community, can produce.

I'm afraid I have not the resources for high-res images. I literally just take a screenshot.

It's right below the southeastern point on Flayed hills.
From what I'm able to discern it appears that there was an airship, which became an airship, there was a jellyfish, then a ship and a jellyfish... turned into a jellyfish and a ship. The ship then became a giraffe, while another jellyfish, few guys playing football, a kite and yet another ship looked on.

Please.

I hate the idea of sky jellies. I hate sea jellies, but sky jellies would be even worse *shiver*
