Description
Pretty happy with this one..The masks are supposed to show the past leaders/rulers of this city. Like Mount Rushmore, or Konoha

True art has the power to create emotion the moment it is seen, and as soon as I saw your Metropolis piece, I was in a sense of awe.
There is very little at first glance that I can pick out, but if anything, perhaps that the [mask?] on the right does not match, but even still, I have very little negative to say.
I like the composition. Relatively symmetrical, and the positioning is good, as if I was really walking down the hill towards it. I love the idea behind it, with the giant masks on the hill behind the buildings. The colors, shapes, and lines all work together to give the same atmosphere of a bleak dystopian future. I love the cluttered and broken suburbs on either side of the street. Even though they are not the focus, they add so much to the scene.
I like the smoke, billowing from smokestacks, and the [government?] building in the center of it all. I feel as if there's major symbolism that's going over my head, but I'm probably reading too much into it.
On closer inspection, there is still few things I can nit pick. Perhaps the ground, to me, looks liquid-like, because of the horizontal lines, and lack of vertical or diagonal lines, and the colors look like reflections. Even if it was, it wouldn't be a bad thing, it would still be rather interesting.
Very excellent, one of my favorite pieces of yours.

The atmosphere looks great in this, but I think this image could be improved with two-point perspective -- not centered as it is. I don't want to criticize your creativity, but I am a little confused at the narrative of this piece. I don't understand the masks at all. They don't seem like they fit; kinda like they were just thrown in there as an afterthought. That dome thing (on the right) may have looked nice by itself on the top of the mound. Your colors palette looks great and the rendering of the junky city on the sides of the image look cool, too. Anyways, good job and keep up the good work!

God, your creativity knows no bounds. This is fantastic. However, I feel it could improve a wee bit more by defining the ground more because I can't figure if it's a solid or a liquid. Also, I know that the building is being covered by some sort of mist but it's a bit to faded to where it almost blends into much with the sky. Unless that's what you're going for; otherwise I feel that you can define that more with a very, very thin and slightly darker colour.
Man, I really hope to improve as vastly and swiftly as you have.

Thats cool, i can imagine the leaders brains were uploaded into a supercomputer deep inside the mountain so they could continue to boom out wisdom and advice like gods atop Olympus.

That's way cool. It's sort of Mount Rushmore-esque, you know?
Very nice. Love it.
