A city built of light. The Heavenly Golden City Backgrounds collection is the second of the angelic family of background plates — sister to Sacred Gothic Cathedral Backgrounds (where the holy light falls inside the cathedral) and the bright counter to Forgotten Gothic Ruins at Twilight (where the architecture has fallen into red mist and shadow). Here the architecture has lifted itself entirely above the clouds. Tall spires of pearl and gold rise into a sky thick with divine god-rays. Streets of polished gold reflect the warm light back upward. Walls of jewels — sapphire, emerald, jasper, amethyst, topaz — catch the sun in chips of pure color. Fountains of liquid light cascade upward in marble plazas. White feathers and rose petals drift through the streets. Beneath the city, white clouds part as if making way. Like its siblings, this is a compositing-plate gallery. No figures inhabit the city — the architecture and the divine light do all the storytelling, leaving the scenes ready for a model to be inserted in Photoshop afterward. Every image is rendered in UHD, finished in Photoshop, and inspired by the cinematic painterly realism of Alex Ross with a debt to Gustave Doré and John Martin’s sublime cityscapes.

A city built of light above the clouds — pearl spires, gold-leaf domes, jeweled walls, and divine god-rays, each a cinematic celestial background in UHD.
