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

was this at all inspired by battlestar galactica per chance.

It is beautiful in its magnificence of destruction. If I saw this in the morning, I would think two things.
1 Oh shit.
2 Sweet explosion

Beautiful mushroom cloud! I wouldn't be saying that if I saw that out my window, though

That can be said about lots of huge yet epically dangerous things

I have several, most of which are in my sub-gallery folder called "Scenic Tour"...Though I must admit many of them are older pieces, but some still say they're good

I just looked at them, and they are AMAZING! Got to love them pyroclastic flows, eh?

((WOW! this shading is amazing! you are a REALLY good artist, and it has an apocalyptic feel to the piece too, due to the angle.))

Ka-BLOOOOEY!
This picture is literally and metaphorically the bomb, dude. The angle really gives it that apocalyptic feel with a semi-painterly-like visual aesthetic while having realism acting as your major trump card. Gorgeous mushroom cloud along with interesting reflective effects on the buildings. Too cool.
...Glad the world didn't end though, so we can continue to witness your amazing prowess. But if it had, well...we can say you certainly would have gone out with a bang.

Hehe, good comment
Thanks for the compliments. Creating some of the highlights on the buildings added much more depth, and a balance between realism and artistry that I always strive for

Thanks dude.
It's always interesting to hear what you have to say about your own artwork--getting creative insight directly from the artist is half the fun.
Sure glad I don't take those warnings seriously either.

Hmm, at least we would go out with a bang.
Anyway, nice work as always Matthew and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ^^

thing is, everyone got scared over something, not that the Mayans said, but by what Hollywood and pseudo-scientists said they said.

Yeah, Hollywood should never be taken seriously

Most are 3D models I created ages ago, and I used Vue's "ecosystem" feature to scatter them over a large area (saves time and memory too

Yeah, i noticed after looking at the picture. Lot's of replicas there, but tweaked to an extend where without searching for it you wouldn't have know these were replica's

Epic as always! Though I am certain there will be more "apocalypses" in the future. We had 3 this year.
