Final Hurdle

To any students reading this silly blog, one of the best places you can go to for extra help on anything you are struggling with, head over to Khan Academy! Amazing resource, wish I had discovered it during my school years. Even now in Uni, it is helping so much! Currently watching the videos on Cosmology/Astronomy in preparation for my first year Astro subject, helping so much! :D

Which is my last exam.
After which comes a very long holiday.

I don't like long holidays :(

Better find a job quick

Stumbled on an amazing piece today on dA. Here is Moscow Ruins by JonasDeRo

The amount of detail in this image is stunnnninnggg! The atmosphere and colours are amazing, I really like the sky (me being one of those people who favours cloudy days)
The arrangement of the birds is precise, fits in perfectly

So much talent in the world :D Love itttt

Oxidation and Reduction

Weather is back to nice nice :D (aka rainy rain XD )

I neeeed sleeeeep. Waah! Exams are nearly here!

Ok, lets really plaster this post with images today!!

Here is Invasion by Raikoh-illust

That is so awesome and mysterious! Those creatures/machines look beautiful, hostile and contrasting to the environment. The flame looks really cute too :D The painted atmosphere is simply stunning!

And here is Sub-Urban by MarkJayBee

That colour range! Spectacular! The amount of effort it must take to make these, I cannot fathom :O
Looks so pretty :3

Last one is The Ellenshaw Corridor by tigaer

Got my attention due to its wonderful futuristic look, reminds me of Mass Effect and Star Wars! Lovely! :D

Yea, my vocab range is finally manifesting
Bye! Off to read a thesaurus XD

Fluffy Flowers

Another thing about warmer seasons - smelly flowers!

Walking past blooming flowers nearly kills me, firstly, there's the horrendous smell. Secondly, there's buzzing bees everywhere!

:O

But this wonderful image can erase my foul mood, Evolvo by korbox

The environment is just stunningly beautiful. The slight tinges of aqua-blue create a mysteriously futuristic aura. The design of the flying ship is wonderful. The atmosphere is spectacular, loving the orange tinge on one side, and a more darker atmosphere on the right hand side of the image.

10/10 :D

Skipper

Do you read this? I bet you don't :(
If only I could say it to you now...

Anyways.

Here is Shadowgate by ChrisCold

I mention atmosphere again and again. But it is really important, and this image has a beautiful atmosphere. The colours are wonderful too - the sunset or thingy in the back is beautiful. Not to mention the actual 'shadowgate' - masterfully executed. The red cape of our humble warrior is pro too, the direction is sways in perfect.

10/10! :D

Failures

In the paper the other day, there was some tale about some stupid celebrity crashing a wedding, even after she was asked not to, and then asked to leave. Of course, she doesn't.

Celebrities. Over-paid losers who think they are a big piece of cheese in a little world.

Of course, not all of them are bad. But most of them are. Most of them. What gives them the right to ruin a wedding with their unwanted presences? Needed a good punch in the face, that loser.

Anyway, let us return to the city!

 

Here is hongkong by wlop. Stunning image, the atmosphere is beautiful, a classic city morning in the winter months, the rain pouring, obscuring all. The high-rise stand tall, the city lights pour out their energy to those interested. So vibrant, love it :D

I wish I could be eternally vibrant :D

Whoosh

Handed in the 30 page report, weight lifted off me, I can now move my limbs! XD

There was a beautiful rainbow yesterday afternoon, it was so clear, never seen one like that before - usually they are faint and dull D:

 Feeling yaaay :D

I have found a master of surreal art. Time to share. May I present, Spanish Galions on Fire by borda

Such creative minds there are on this planet. I could never think up of such a brilliant idea. Hats off to borda. Just stunning imagery, environment, the colour range is wicked too.

Love it

Work, work

So much work to do!
On the other hand, I have been doing well in everything, so I'm happy with that :D

Without further ado...

Art Deco city concept by jubjubjedi has aa wonderful atmosphere, the futuristic sort - beautiful tinges of blue and green. Tall, majestic and imposing skyscrapers stand dormant in the background, waiting silently for...something :D (?)

:D

Brilliant piece though, love it!

Powerslide

Some old guy gets on the train, and asks some seated guy for directions. What do you know, after a few words, they are suddenly the best of friends, speaking in Chilean, old man and young man.

I also saw a person I hadn't seen in 5 years! XD

Anyways, let us not dally.

Here is Halloween Mansion by jerry8448

The colour scheme of this image is brilliant. The light orange'ish hue of the atmosphere goes well with the grinning pumpkins (munchkins anyone?) The eerie red light in the uppermost part of the mansion is fantastic; added to that the smoke, who knows what kind of witchcraft is going on in there. The sky is wonderfully detailed, though, I can't tell if those are stars or birds in the sky. The tree stands there, without leaves, a sign of foreboding.

I'm guessing that this person may inhabit the mansion

Haunted Mansion Bride Replica by yensidtlaw1969 will be haunting my dreams for a while...those eyes and hands D:

Through the Sky

And here is Downtown by logartis

Seems very oriental to me. The pond in front of the central building is brilliantly detailed, as is the pathway. The atmosphere is brilliant, sort of a cloud, rainy afternoon scene. And there's a ship floating in the sky!


Sort of reminds me of the map DM-Rising Sun from Unreal Tournament 3

In other news!

University resumes next week XD

Timley Arrival

That feeling when the train is late. Again.
How many employers have fired people due to late trains? I certainly know of a few.

Let's hope the Final Train by  JasonHeely isn't late!

That train reminds me of Ned Kelly. the famous Australian bush-ranger who fashioned himself a brilliant mask. One with glowing eyes XD The atmosphere is lovely, really loving the red hue. If I was that train, I wouldn't want to be picking up that creepy commuter! But I must admit, the commuter, with the glowing eyes and glowering posture adds to the creepy mood. The image, of course, makes you ponder where that train is coming from...with that window to the far left

Well.

*shrugs*

For my sluggishness yesterday, lets throw in another image! May I present, Ghost Train by karola-j

The blue glow coming from the windows makes you wonder 'What in the world is going on in that train?'
The smoke is beautifully done, almost looks as if the train has come straight from the freezer, ready to knock some heads XD

Until next time!

The year...is 2027

Ever wondered what cities will look like in the future? When...the population soars...the only way is up! There are many video games out there that let you explore future worlds, with beautiful cities. Take a look at Heng Sha in the game Deus Ex: Human Revolution - whoa dude, step back! That scene is just breath-taking!

And you can explore that city! Even the sewers!

Reminds me of this, really

 

The Arch by MacRebisz possesses that architecture telling you 'up is the only way to go, son'. Really loving the look of that flying transport - if that city is as big as I think it as, we'd sure need it!

The colours on the buildings are phenomenal. The reds and blues really complement each other well. The yellowish atmosphere is similar to that of Heng Sha from Deus Ex, an ambient glow of beauty.

We are going to needs lots of electricity, yes...

Ahoy

Recently, I have been reading a novel by the name of Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. Highly recommend it, entrancing read. In it, there is a mention of the 'Red Ship Raiders', ruthless and efficient pirates that are causing the land-folk limitless trouble.

Pirates? Arr!

Plague Ship Sails into Korvosa by yanimator provides a powerful image, wonderfully detailed, perfect atmosphere, action-packed, vibrant and energizing. The colours are striking and bold, like the majestic ship itself, regal and tall.

That is all. Before I make a complete fool of myself XD
