Description

Eternal twilight had released its grip upon the world.
The moon had risen to see the land turned over, torn apart.
The shadows of the glowing, decimated, silent cities have returned.
The scorched, black, metallic skeletons of buildings have appeared from the silver mist of mercury and sulfur.
The radioactive dust had settled on the piles of our bones.
How blind and how thoughtless was our move.
How pointless as it seemed now, our war for land.
That was waged in the name of unity and god.
That brought a great downfall,
And the eternal winter,
A dawn of thermonuclear reckoning and our eventual extinction…

Nay, evolution of survivors into… death itself.

this has got to be hands down the most impressive painting i've come across in gfx. maybe it's just personal taste, or refreshing concept after all the bright and fluffy fantasy paintings (which i like anyway)...but probably more than that. great perspective, and details, awesome lighting. wow.

looks really cool +8
only criticism is, some of the really black lines somehow make the image look flat in places, even though the perspective looks right....if that makes sense

The little lighting accents everywhere, especially on the character just MAKE this painting so good. His expression is so..badass. Biggups +7...i'd give you more if I could.

great picture, very nice angle you chose! The scale is awesome, my only crit is that the building behind the guy doesn't fit to the overall perspective. It looks a little bit like it's falling. But love the mood of this picture. And you made it with ball mouse, that's insane!

The writing is a little over-elaborative, you could've held back a bit on the descriptions. It does however mirror your pictures ridiculous amount of details, which are all good
