Description
And it just had to be right before the weekend...Typical
Anyway, if you are sitting there and viewing this then that means either you are still alive or Heaven isn't as exciting as you hoped (either that or Hell managed to live up to expectations
).But at least it also means the past few days of my life weren't wasted either. Since to get this done on time it was really just work and do this. I had been planning on making a special submission for this date since over a year ago yet somehow I still managed to leave it to the last minute, though I wasn't expecting to be as busy as I am now. Thankfully I was ale to save a lot of time on the city by using some old building models I really should re-do by now, but with so many together in a dark setting they worked surprisingly well. I did also use some "real" ones though from some photo's I took a few years back too...I knew someday I'd need them, even if that someday was the last day

aah.. that day. guess everyone was a tad tense, even knowing the whole hype was BS...
great art, the detail as always, the lighting really makes it, like you see the rays, and those shrooms... very nice city build. tragically beautiful?
i never watched tests, news etc. but i had this dream (before 2012) where everyone was running, and then the white light...

Funny how everyone forgot all about it the next day after

eeeh.. i'm really not into catastrophe movies... my own hyperactive mind creates enough bad scenarios anyway, if i watched that stuff i'd be freaked out to enter a high rise, use a lift, board a train, and i'd keep watching the sky and the ground with tormented fear, finishing by hiding under my bed - and i'm not even talking about zmobies *shudder* :grin:
funnily enough, i love vampires, demons, and i've hitchhiked and walked around alone at night even in foreign countries 
your volcano shows one: reality will always surpass fiction ^^
it's so true tho' that whatever makes big hype in the news on whatever subject is forgotten soon after. results of the ambient overflow of information/desinformation ~

The sad thing is that no one will ever truly comprehend this, without experiencing it first hand...

And they won't have much time to remember it before being finished off either
I do kinda wish we had modern-day quality cameras filming all those old atomic bomb tests from decades ago though

That would require another explosion, and I think I speak for everyone in the world, when I say: "Never Again!!!"

I was born in the mid 70's and grew up in the 80's. Thanks to the cold war and tv movies like The Day After I've been obsessed with nuclear war for some time now. It frightens me but I find images like this strangely alluring. This is an impressive piece. So beautiful yet so deadly, as the old cliche goes.

I feel a similar way. Mushroom clouds are impressive sights... in pictures anyway, but I sure hope I never have to see one in real life

Yeah I definitely agree. I think it's crazy that at one point you could arrange to have a honeymoon suite in Vegas that allowed you to witness testing. x.x

Beautiful image, I would like to know if you can use it for a project. Can I?

Depends on the nature of the project.

I was wondering if I could use a copy of this (Without Watermark) for a non profit use such as Roleplay Forums, Fandom Wikias or as a Desktop background.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks for asking. Hmm, I sometimes give out watermark-free versions for personal use (like wallpapers) if requested. But only up to a certain resolution (don't wanna send out high res/printable versions too casually

As long as it is 1366 by 854 im fine because my computer screen is 1366 by 768 however if that is too large I can possibly settle for 1280 by 800.

It kinda reminds me in the Ace Combat universe, where the belkans detonate seven nukes in their homeland

The biggest "Like" I've ever received

Beautiful picture, wrong category. This belongs under "What we wish was Sci-fi".
Tsar Bomb Test Β - the most destructive weapon mankind has ever made. Imagine if they wanted to destroy more than a lifeless desert. Not sci-fi. Remember that.Β

Hmm, well while atomic bombs stopped being sci-fi decades ago. this one was intended to be exceptionally large, sort of beyond the level of present-day bombs. This explosion here is still just in its first few seconds

This is breathtaking! I literally jumped out of my seat, and I would love to work with you. I emailed you priteeboyΒ

Glad it left such an impression on you (and a hopefully still-intact seat

Let's just pray we NEVER have to ACTUALLY see this happen in our lifetimes.
Not that this artwork isn't amazing (it is!) It just triggers morbid thoughts on my part. xD
Nice job!

I agree. I had a nightmare about something like this when I was a kid actually...at least i was able to wake up from that

I did a piece similar in nature to this one, check it out if you have the time. Anyway, good work and I am glad we're still alive.

The kid in the foreground really makes it a lot more personal Well we haven't destroyed ourselves yet, so off to the stars we go (we can always destroy ourselves out there

Thanks for the reply! And look forward to more of your kind of art in the future.Β
