Description This is what happens when God cheaps out on building materials build the heavens and the damn thing breaks the day the warranty expires gives an all new meaning to the term Daybreak

Alternatively going to be called the less-creative "The sky has fallen" - this was my single entrant into the Luminarium's recent Exhibit titled "Reverie" - which means "Daydreaming" and on my freqent daydreaming ventures, I sometimes have wondered what it would be like if the sky was a physical, tangible object - I'm sure we all beleived that or similar as kids at some stage guess the closest thing I've seen represented well in the media might be The Truman show - but that wasn't on my mind when creating this.

See this and various other good-quality artworks on the Luminariums recent Exhibit Here please remember all that art is copyrighted by their respective artists!

Technical details time! - Once again, as the movie producers often say - "Vue saved me an incredible amount of time when creating this!" Of course, that's not to say it was created in an afternoon, I still had to model the buildings in Cinema 4D, about half the trees used are custom ones and as usual - various things got a Photoshop makeover to make it just look nicer overall, however this is still more 3D than 2D, so the category is correct

All my artwork remains the copyrighted propery of me, please do not use my art in your own projects or websites unless you get pemrission from me

Lol, that sounds so much like me in the scoring department giving 10's only inflates big ego's anyway

Occasionally I've seen similar artworks, though the last was so long ago I barely remember what it looke dlike. I was hoping to give mine a lively and almost childish like ambience to it

I just never give 10 because of my art teacher. I sort of adopted his style of grading even though it only was for a semester. He always gave A's but never 100 because he said there's no such thing as the perfect picture. I agreed with it so I took it to heart.

Something tells me it could have been more dramatic with a dark, scary mood too - but there's plenty of sci-fi and fantasy artists that goe down that path already - I like my bright, almost humerous interpretations of such things more glad you like it too!

So glad you named it "Day-break." Very...poetic (in a sense that it's a play on words, you know?)

Chromattix In reply to mitchellnelson [2009-08-06 15:05:13 +0000 UTC]

Well, not that I should be saying this, but I suppose you could try torrents just to practice on...3D is hard without proper training, and you may spend all that money, get frustarted and give up but if you "try before you buy" then you could always buy the proper ones when your'e ready to start up some serious work

I still think good 2D art looks "nicer" and many of my 3D scenes involve a lot of Photoshop painting mixed in with it, as well as some deviations that have no 3D at all. But still - knowing both can sometimes save time and effort

Glad you like the concept, thanks for the fave too I might help you out with something - your signature I assume you paste into each of your comments right? if so, then go to your own page, click the "more..." tab and edit settings and there's a spot in there that allows you to paste your signature in there and it will appear autimatically with each comment Though there is a character limit so I'm not sure if yours will fit

Ya, I haven't been checking DA for a bit, oops

This is an amazing piece. The pun is hilarious. At first I was like wtf? Then I made clicked the thumbnail size and the laughter ensued

It's beautiful and the clouds on the 'broken sky' match up with the part that fell off.

However, perhaps having shown some of the larger buildings suffering some damage? Or perhaps the piece of sky suffering a bit in the middle of it would have seemed appropriate. But great one =]

Chromattix In reply to WisemanBrandon [2009-07-13 05:52:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, this one looks kinda stupid from far away, only those that full-view will get it the sky was originally one whole sky, so I broke the peice out of that rather than making a new one, ensuring the clouds matched up

The buildings did have some cracks and broken windows, but yeah - wasn't enough Thanks for the recent faves though

WisemanBrandon In reply to Chromattix [2009-07-13 21:25:32 +0000 UTC]

Mmm, kinda figured it was something along those lines with the sky. And yaa, when I zoomed in I could see what looks like broken windows, but ya, probably could do with more
But the minimal destruction keeps it still a comical happy scene versus a comical but dark/sad scene because of the damage.

And no problem, your stuff always amazes me =]
