Description
A matte painting collaboration done with my friend Gaétan Weltzer (~DesignSpartan ) for Slashthree's 20th exhibition "War": www.slashthree.com/exhibitions…
The scene depicts a classic dystopia: riots in a city of a totalitarian regime, a concept inspired by various media.
I really hope you like this image as we had a lot of fun working on this scene. We did the first brainstorming and sketches in May and send the psd file back and forth for more than 4 months, so we spent quite some time on this image alltogether. It was a great pleasure to work with Gaétan!
His version:
The base plate and other stock images are from shutterstock.com, the model shown on the screens is `jademacalla .
Step by step:
Thanks for stopping by!

The alien walker things or the walking machines with tentacles in your piece completely makes me think of the movie Skyline. Great, great movie! This is a fantastic piece.

never seen that movie but sounds interesting! - I believe the image was inspired by stuff like War of the Worlds and Equilibrium.

You know what, I was mistaken. The walking aliens I was thinking of were from War of Worlds, not Skyline!

I see! It's been a while that I watched any of those movies. I should rewatch them at some point.

Yes, I have not seen War of Worlds since soon after it came out. It’s been awhile. You made me want to watch it again so I think I just might tonight. 🙂

Skyline is a decent movie. I love Equilibrium and War of Worlds always scared the heck out of me - which I also love lol. This piece definitely reminds me of War of Worlds now that you mention it.

This looks like 1984 meets War of the Worlds meets Total Recall. Love it.

yup all of these are inspirational! One of my main inspirations was probably the movie Equilibrium, and I think Gaétan was inspired a lot by Starcraft.
