Description
Finally something I'm very pleased with.I've started this work with a simple photomanipulation (bottom) and then I started to add all the details in the upper part. The alien robots are inspired by the tripods from the Hollywood movie "War of the Worlds". Those two escaping from the battle were actually meant to be simple jetplanes in the first place.
I've painted a lot of details myself this time. As usual the planets are made by me.
original size: 2200*2850
working time about 15-20 hours
take a look at the details I've spent a lot of time on: [link]

This is really cool, and I'm definitely enjoying the smoke coming from the submachine gun. I feel like the planet just past the city scape feels too much like some sort of protective barrier, however much I know that its the atmosphere fogging out some of the details. It's still really good. I enjoy it.

yeah it's specially about the render on the right.
it just doesn't really blends for my feeling.
it has an other type of shine to it then the rest of the work.

actually planets cannot be close to each other like that, because their surface will be magma sea.

thanks for the input. I didn't intend 100% realism but I'll keep it in mind for my next work.

But, it is a beautiful landscape. You don't need to keep it in your mind. Because sometimes for example like this way irrealism being most beautiful and motivational for brain.

well lol everything starts with an idea and then I go collecting all the stocks I need^^ I mostly start manipulating the basics and after that I add all the details.
As for this work in particular I first started with the pic of the central park, added the fence and the people in the front and after all that I started painting the little details and added to planets to the sky.
