A very artistic and creative
sanctuary with beautiful symmetry and excellent detail of the storm that can be clearly seen from the window.. Beautiful detail throughout the inner area with interesting subjects as well as the shelter from the weather. Wonderful use of shadow and a reflection that makes this interesting and architecturally stimulating. Pleasure to view this excellent art.

This is a very unique creation. The darkness really sets the mood of the image and I like the bright lightning strike in the window and how it adds highlights to the room. This is a sad story, but at least these people found some safe shelter. Well done and thanks for sharing this creative image with us :)

This is really cool.
I love the lightening outside the window and the reflection of it in the pool of water.
The architecture is wonderful.
And the added kitties is cool.
Nice piece, thanks for sharing.

A truly ingenious creation. Piecing together pictures to make a story. Even the cat. Just wonderful. I love the lightening viewed through the cathedral window. The pool of water on the floor. It all works together to cause the viewer's imagination to conjure their own stories.

Nice one Shawn. I apparently missed Sanctuary I. I will have to go back and check it out. Great work here and it sounds like a very interesting story. Keep up the great work Shawn ~ Steve

    Thank you Steve. I?m not sure there is a sanctuary one, but I put two there because it seems like I posted something by that title a few years back, if so it has nothing to do with this one. Thank you again, much appreciated. :-)

I love how you connect a story to this creation. It add so much to how I imagine your creation process. It al looks totally seamless to me and definitely evokes a story even beyond your notes. An excellent job.

This brings about a sad feeling to think about being in need of a safe warm place during a storm, they are grateful to have found shelter for the night. This is well created and has such an emotional impact to view. Wonderful detail over this image, I like the reflection on the floor . Very well presented!

This is amazing. I never knew digital could create something that at first glance looks like a very detailed sketch. I admire how you expressed the importance of all living things and used so many different ways to keep them safe. Wonderful work!!
