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

Seriously tho, LOVE IT! Excellent concept. Very imaginative. Shows us a glimpse of how deep your mind works.

At least this time it didn't turn out to be an alien invasion that was just looking for its lost child after all

It does make me think though, how long were the spaceships even there, surely they must have been hanging around even before the alien was lost, I wonder what they were doing

cmc1849 [2009-07-04 22:28:25 +0000 UTC]

haha, that's so genious.
And it's great thing to think about too. Imagine living in a world that you know that at some point you can touch the sky. At some point the thing might break and fall on you, just like it's happening. And the quote sky is the limit would have the same meanign that it does today? And the space ships would have make a hole on it to go to space? I'm just telling what I imagined the moment I saw this

Chromattix In reply to cmc1849 [2009-07-05 05:00:52 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I neve runderstood that saying The sky is the limit when unless the world really was like this picture - it's not true we'll find out soon enough when a rocket slams into the ceiling at full speed I had a dream when I was little (about 5) that I'll never forget - I was holding a balloon and let it go and watche dit go higher and higher until it was just a distant speck...then, a small patch of sky opened in an unusual way, like a heart valve that opened long enough for the balloon to go through before closing again as if it never happened...The dream was so realistic that I was certain it really happened for ages after it

cmc1849 In reply to Chromattix [2009-07-05 14:53:55 +0000 UTC]

hmm, I take that quote with a meaning that your imagination have no limit to create or something like this. And if the sky really was some kind of object that would mean that we would have a limit.
Haha, that's a pretty crazy dream even for a 5 year old. And you still remember it, I can't remember what I dreamt yesterday.

Anonymonkey In reply to ??? [2009-07-04 16:51:33 +0000 UTC]

This is awesome... kinda strange that all the trees and stuff at the bottom are all fuzzy and not that clear, but I love this. The concept is really cool and it looks like a large chunk of broken glass with the cracks and all.

Good thing this is not what the sky is actually like. It'd be deadly.

Chromattix In reply to Anonymonkey [2009-07-05 04:42:34 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I never noticed that in the trees, I think the brushing I did over them was with a too-large brush oh well, luckily they're only a small part and it seems you like the rest, and yeah - luckily the sky is mostly made of harmless nitrogen

"The sky is falling" was actually going to be the intended title, but "Day-break" snapped into mind and it sounded more witty

Don't blame God for things that break, it's the enemy that causes the bad things.
Excellent concept and artwork, though.

Chromattix In reply to meteored [2009-07-04 05:37:11 +0000 UTC]

I wante dthe trees to contrast enough to be easily seperate from the sky...but that ended up making them a show-stealer...damn, I couldn't win

While green trees would have been more natural, these colours were chosen as fall colours, being fitting to the fallen sky theme

ceruleanvii In reply to ??? [2009-07-03 19:11:17 +0000 UTC]

I really love the sky, that fragmented look that makes it hard to piece together, rather like an optical illusion.

Also love the red/gold/blue combination, makes me think of fall!

Chromattix In reply to ceruleanvii [2009-07-04 05:22:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! be it visual or actually physical - the sky would be hard to peice back together either way

Glad you noticed the relavence of fall colours

*giggles* my nickname was Sora, and whenever I was asked why is it so, I always answer, "Because I love the sky. And there's this other girl whose name is similar to mine."

Then one day, someone asked me that question, I answered the same thing, and she asked me again, "Then, if the sky falls down on you, what'll you do? Will you hide? lol"

I answered, "No. I'd take a piece of the sky instead."

and as usual, your artworks is greaaat~ (>w0)d
