Whatever doesn't kill me...had better start running

The title of the blog is a rather funny quote I found from the novel ' City of  Glass' from the Mortal Instruments series - definitely check it out!

Looking forward to the cool change, after today being 40 degrees! :D Cold weather is my forte

What can we talk about today?

Naah, to hot to talk about anything. Instead, let's look at two wonderful pieces.

Here is Star kingdom planet by arsenixc

So much detail in this picture! Imagine our cities in the fitire, looking like that! Who knows, it may come to pass. The only thing I don't like about this picture is the colour scheme. But the artists knows best, not some peasant like me XD

And here is Engie's nightmare by alexiuss

I love it! The colours are really good at conveying a moody, grim scene. The image just looks so cooool XD Reminds me a tad of Metro 2033, the game involving post-apocalyptic Russia.

So many talented people out there!

Raining Rubbish

Society is getting more and more vulgar. It seems very very acceptable to swear and be rude to others these days. At the top of their voices. On the train. In the future, it'll probably be normal :/

A pleasant rainy day today, with a nice touch of thunder :D Would love to be snuggled in bed, hearing the rain-drops fall. But exams :O Feeling sort of ready...sort of

And today was Melbourne Cup Day! The day when people fork out thousands of dollars just to look stupid and think they are a big piece of cheese in a little world. Gosh. Use your money on something more productive.

People these days D;

Fitting in with the cloudy weather, today's piece is Assassin's Guide by jcbarquet

The colour is beauuuutttiiiifullll <3 I particualrly love the tinge on the windows, nice teal glow. The sky is perfect, the birds roaming in the sky a brilliant touch. The reflections of the windows on the water are wonderfully done. Pristine image, very very good. :D

Power To Go

3 hours sleep, I will never ever try living on 3 hours of sleep again.

Felt like I was going to collapse any moment during the day :(

Which means never ever can  I leave work to the last minute. Never ever.

Still tired. Quick piece for today. Here is Scythe City by ChrisCold

Ah, that cheers me up already :D Wicked city of steel and future!

Forsee

Mmm.

The future doesn't look too good. For both me and society.
And it's depressing.

As much as I try not to think about the future, its always there.
Mmm.

Already, the world is suffering from countless calamities. And you'd think tehcnology will make it all better in the future.

But I have a feeling it won't.

Enough with the glum talk! Mm, it's getting quite late. No time for my usual 'pep-talk' :D
Here is Angioma by Tatchit

Lovin the city in the background! So dark. The beast prowls. And the city-people await XD

Speed of light

Oh, that feeling when someone is walking extremely slow, or standing in the middle of a doorway/staricase, urgh! Need a good thump to send them to their destination. Not all of mankind has time for their dallying. Ah, one of these days, their phone is going to fall when they bump into a pole, or I blitz past them. And then I will laugh. :D

(so cruel, I am)

Speaking of phones...train passes a crowded station. What do you see? Phones. People on phones. People, heads bent, poking at their phone. Is this what the future consists of?

Really?

Behold the future, when people will shrivel up due to lack of physical activities, when people will be obsessed with maintaining their 'Internet cred'

Ah, poor future generations. Never know what's gonna hit ya

Anywho.

Let us return to the alleyways, those places that everyone loves :'D

And here is Dangerous Alleyway by atomahawk

Ah, gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside! The colour range is spectacular, cities at night-time look spectacular <3 The water covering the ground, and the reflections, are perfect. The lighting is immaculate, the smoke effect stunning. Such beauty. Makes me want to take a nice stroll  through there with someone in hand, enjoying the breath-taking scenery (yes, I consider this alleyway 'scenery' XD )

Who wants to visit an alleyway with me!? D;

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...

Highway Rolling

Sorry for people who aren't fond of space-related images, but they are so pretty! :3

May I present, Space Highway by Alienphysique

The scene is so mouth-watering. The colour range in the image is spectacular; I really love the reddish glow emanating from behind the planet. I can't imagine it in any other colour. The 'highway' is so detailed and cute too :3 And the stars are there in the background, ever-present but taken for granted. This image is enough to send shivers; who knows if the future will look as pretty as this?

Or will it...?
