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...

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

Forests of Silence

Once, long ago, I had a dream about a serial-killer in a forest, who ate children. (I swear I'm normal!)
I don't know why I bring it up now, maybe this spectacular image invoked some emotion in me.

God of the Forest by noah-kh left me gaping for quite a while :O It is so wonderfully detailed; just look at the foilage! The shading and tones are marvellous, the water (or spider-webs?) on the right are coloured perfectly.  The overall lighting in this image is mind-blowing, its so ambient, peaceful and giggle-worthy :3
The colours on the nice-looking monster :D are nice, really digging the bits of blue in this image.

I'd very much like to visit a forest one day!

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...?

City Beats

I don't know what it is, but I love pictures of the city! Is it the tall buildings? The pretty lights? The elegant design? No clue. But I love the city! :D Pictures of cities like Tokyo and Seoul just set my heart racing.

 

A perfect example of what I was talking about, in Metro 3080 by kingjamesuk. The colour range and lighting is spectacular, the scene worthy to make any sci-fi fan drool in hunger. The buildings look so sophisticated and elegant, the detail extravagant. Totally would love to live in such a place

Let's hope it happens sometime in the near future!

The War-room

Many important decisions are made on the battlefield. Others are made in conference rooms. And some others are made in solitude by an individual, whether it is a letter to a beloved or an investment in stocks or the decision to deal justice.

Decisions are also made in alley-ways, did you know that? D;

May I present, In the Alley by korbox

The amount of detail in this piece is extraordinary. The water reflections and placement are brilliantly executed, the bricks beautifully textured, the lighting and mood perfect, reminiscent of a 'peaceful' day in the alleys. Who knows what that figure represents? Thief? Orphan? Runaway? Maybe even a figure of authority on the run. The president? Police? Who knows. In the alley-way, you are no-one D:

Adopted Sun in the Winter Storm

Finally, some sun shows up to greet the winter-laden Melbourne!
Without further ado, let me introduce Waterfall Castle Matte art by fstarno

 

The amount of detail in this piece is breath-taking, not to mention the concept of the image itself, having a castle in such a precarious place. Someone is that castle would be provided with an excellent view XD The lighting and environment casts a sort of majestic feeling, the shadows of the bridge on the water precise, the tones of the sky perfect.

Browsing other peoples works is such a good motivator for one to strive for perfection.

In other news...there is no other news!

Until next time!

Reign of Rain

When it rains in Melbourne, it really does rain! I love rain! Nothing better than a good run through the rain. So refreshing.

So let us begin today with Drifted by korbox

The mood and lighting in this image is perfect. I really wish I could do stuff like that, the lighting is just aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That soft mist, brilliant. I love the colours used in the image, especially those of the bright street lights that contrast well with the more morbid blue-grey of the background. The rain is perfect, almost as if korbox used a mathematical formula to direct its placement :D The city in the background is also gorgeous.

That is like the worst appraisal of art ever. Ever.

Definitely go check out his deviantART page, he has some amazing works. Some of them will definitely be popping up here from time to time

Until next time!
