After staring a few minutes at the [PS3] Resistance: Fall of Man cover art, I got hit by a random inspiration. I wanted to do a dirty/grunge photomanipulation piece, but more historical-ruined oriented than doomsday oriented.
While working on what was originally going to be a static landscape with some kind of ruin far in the background, I started working a composition that was full of life. I ended up with a ruined road and a person (bishop-looking) looking at the majestic flight of a bird.
All the photos are either from my own collection or sxc.hu.
