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

I have to say; im deeply impressed by this art! If this where made by your hands, then its godlike in how you seem to be able to handle angles, colors and volume! Very great job indeed!

Well it's a bit of different things, some 3D art, some photo-manipulation and some painting, making it semi-Godlike in that case

Love how you've worked on this, very well done light effects XD...Btw just curious, seeing as there is so much details, what's the resolution you used to draw this?~

Chromattix In reply to OxydeG27 [2013-01-11 08:31:53 +0000 UTC]

This one was made at 5200 x 3250 pixels. Which is slightly bigger than most of my work

Oh is that so, thank you for the reply~~~

Btw this'll seem annoying to disturb you again but...how many layers did you used to paint this? Was this done in a singer layer?

If not then you must have an incredible amount of RAM to handle this...such envy >_👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Chromattix In reply to OxydeG27 [2013-01-11 08:50:58 +0000 UTC]

I rarely went past 15 layers or so. Indeed they make it easier than trying to paint it on just one layer, but I've heard of people using 200+ layers and I think that's just crazy

OxydeG27 In reply to Chromattix [2013-01-11 09:03:35 +0000 UTC]

Hm after taking a good look at your galleries it impresses me seeing such gorgeous high definition drawings, and not using too much excess of layers...

Thank you for the answers! Now I know that it isn't necessary to have tons of layers to make beautiful works~~Have a nice day~!

Explosions!

Seriously, the city here is so realistic and WOW (I don't know how you make that look so good, really it's mindblowing ) and the overall perspective and scale of this piece give it such an epic and dramatic feel. And I love the title. Very fitting for post-doomsday. I found it so funny that people talked about this date for years and when the time finally came ("OMG the apocalypse is HERE!!! "), it passed along just like any other day. Nope, no end of the world here.

Chromattix In reply to UniverseDreams [2013-01-08 13:45:45 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot. I rarely do city-scenes much since I generally find them too much work. But this was one that really called for it

Yes, I knew the day would just be like any other, thanks to so many failed doomsday dates that have gone past already. What's even funnier is that there weren't even "minor" disasters that happen dozens of times around the world every year. I don't think anywhere saw a bad storm, or an Earthquake, or an impending sign of a new war etc on that date. Yep, the end of the world was quite a relaxed day indeed for it
