Description
Started this one some time ago, but never got time to finish it. 3D max mostly with some PS paint-over.I've started it without a clear idea of where I wanna take it...just went with the flow. I'll attach a brief making off, with different stages of the process. The concept went all over the place, just random ideas and compositions.
3D Max and Photoshop

Beautiful work!!!! Reminds me of a more fantasy-version of the city of Petra in Jordan. Great job!

Why do I get a strange sense of familiarity from this

It's somewhere between Gallifrey and Middle-earth, with some lovely Middle Eastern and steampunk touches. There are so many little details to take in. That writing, for instance - Chinese? Arabic? Invented language? What does it mean, and what secrets does it speak of? And that badass guy with the cape and the scepter. Is he a time traveller from some distant future, hence the title? Is that hot ride his time machine? Has he come to these ruins to save some long-lost secret from destruction or obscurity? And what's with the scepter thing, anyway? Futuristic ray gun? Or could it be a stolen artifact he's come to return to it's rightful place or owner on a quest of repentance? Perhaps only it can unlock some ancient vault containing incredible treasure and unspeakable horror? What if, when placed in a room at a specific time of day, when the sun arcs in at just the right angle, it will reveal the location of the tomb of the last of the gods, where one can discover their secrets of infinite power and nigh-eternal life?
Okay, sorry, I'm just going off on a tangent here. It's just really, really visually impressive, and I love filling in the gaps like this. Thanks for drawing this and inspiring my imagination

The architectural detail is unreal! Just amazing!

This is absolutely amazing, I love the details in the structures all the way down to the rocks on the ground, I thought it was a photograph from the thumbnail at first. For something you say was built on the flow, it's incredibly consistent and I think I could stare at the details for hours
Ps: congrats on the DD!

I love the detail and the architecture! The wings on the dragons look a little top-heavy tho. If they were made of stone, they'd break right off, so I guess they're made of metal? The rest of the architecture doesn't seem to use metal, tho. The far dragon's got a joint where the wings and the body meet, so it'd make sense if they made the statue itself out of stone and the wings out of metal, then painted or gilded the whole thing to make it look uniform. Unless I'm just thinking about it too hard and the entire statue is metal...

A really eye catching render! I love the angle; it makes me feel quite small in comparison to the crazy majesty of the place. Really love the colors as well. And the details in this are just insane, from the writingon the building to the perfectly done tire treads. Beautiful work!

thumbs up!

Thanks. I don't understand what you mean by the backdrop. You mean the blue sky? There's just one image in the background, and yes, shot that myself in Greece, loved the blue clear sky from the islands

i should have said the structure.
the part in front is drawn and the rest locks to be two images.
but i bet there from Greece also.

the pov is very good, the way the building towers over the scene is very impressive. it looks like sandstone, but in gold rather than red.

Thanks. I've forced the camera fov a bit, it's a habit I've got from my other hobby: photography. I just love my 17-40mm lens

very nice perspective, I really enjoy this angle to get a better sense of the scale.

Thanks. I personally prefer the cropped version. The composition there is more balanced. Here it needed a payoff point up in the sky, but I had no idea what could it be.

Both versions are beautiful. I like your comment outlining the two, I guess art is just being subjected to both your taste and mine! I love how this one draws the eye around the entire piece, before finally settling back down towards the bottom. I guess I just am in love with the scale of the architecture. Well done, regardless!
