Description Once known as a retail and entertainment hub, now a shadow of it past glory as nature begin to retake the ruins

Yet still it attract tourists from all over, as a must stop area for any ruin explorers.

But do take precautions, while in the past, it might be one of the safest place on earth, but now, it will only be safer with a weapon or two at hand.

~Artist note~
This is a piece I did around 5-6 months ago, it was meant for another project but plans changed and I got to post it now

It is strange how a few months after I "completed" it, I still end up making major changes to it after I was prepared to post it up a few days ago.

Hehehe let see if anyone recognize this place

This looks so awesome I think my head's going to explode. What's this from?! Can you talk about it? Who is she? What's the story? Will there be more in this series? Awwww, Awesome!

Luches In reply to RogueWriter3201 [2011-07-11 01:26:24 +0000 UTC]

Well she came from a dark corner of my mind, currently I have no idea how to bring about a story for her, but I am seriously considering more for this series

Cool. Let me know if I can help. Check out deserted Urban Landscapes on Google, you'll get some outstanding shots of whole city blocks no longer in use. Here in the U.S., in cities like Cleveland and Detroit, there are a lot of places like that now. Apartment buildings, shops, malls, etc. Also, China (I think) has a bunch of massive theme parks half built that were either never finished or only ran for a short time. These Disneyland like places that are still standing, but abandoned. Would make for some great set pieces for your awesome Heroine.

Luches In reply to RogueWriter3201 [2011-07-14 01:26:31 +0000 UTC]

Well most likely I will stick with my own country first

I think it is more interesting that way, much like how Japanese artists like to use tokyo as a reference, and US artists using US cities as references

Dude, that elbow...It may be nitpicking but it jumped out at me instantly. I just can't appreciate the rest of the picture now. Also, the leg. Gotta work on your anatomy, man! The environment is great though, and I like the blimp design.

Treyos In reply to ??? [2011-07-10 13:55:20 +0000 UTC]

Don't know where it is, but does look pretty cool. You said "safest place" and it made me wonder what the "happiest place on Earth" would be like; Disney World after the fall of mankind! Can you imagine what archaeologists and other visitors would think when exploring that place?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Luches In reply to Treyos [2011-07-10 14:02:25 +0000 UTC]

Yup, a lot of places will change after just decades of abandonment, I always thought the same, what will archaeologists make of our random scribbling or will they treat our sci-fi and fantasy novels as fact or fiction

ShindeTsuku In reply to ??? [2011-07-10 13:49:56 +0000 UTC]

I really love the idea of abandoned buildings overgrown with plants and such. Really beautifully done, and a lot of props for not resorting to a sexy girl, either. Just incredible work.
