Description
Watching my portfolio I can definitely say I'm more of a Lord of the Rings/Dungeons&Dragons kind of guy. However, there are 2 sci-fi movies which had a huge impact on me when I watched them as a kid during the 80s: "Star Wars" (original trilogy) and "Blade Runner". I remember being completely blown away the first time I saw "A New Hope". "Blade Runner", on the other hand, was a bit different. As I watched it over and over again I slowly started to realize the masterpiece it was. What I admire most are the moods...the constant rain and darkness, the blue/green hues, the lonesomeness, the smoke, the juxtaposition of different architectural styles, the soundtrack...everything just brilliant! One might think that some of these aspects would equal discomfort, but they are portrayed in such a romantic way that they become captivating and soothing.So, concluding...this painting is an homage (another one) to this superb movie.
I would love to hear your thoughts and let me know what can be improved and I will certainly take it into consideration and try to update it.

I'm no expert (hehe, I'm a writer), so I can't offer advice. All I gotta say is that it's fascinating and intricate, and I'm blown away. Esp. the way that the light is and the reflections of it on the pavement. Just grand!!
Totally deserves that Daily Deviation!

Well, grats on the DD. I suggested this some time ago also but at least someone's voice was heard I suppose...

This very much captures the vision of Blade Runner's dark, choking urban techno-dystopia. It looks very much like what one would expect from concept art for the movie.
I think bright, obnoxious, obvious billboards are the only thing missing... Featuring neon pinks and reds and oranges and young asian women.
But, only above and in the distance, you know?

Awesome work! I`m also a big fan of blade runner, you so well captured the rainy claustrophobic feel of the movie while keeping this entirely your own. Brilliantly done and so deserving of the DD
