Description
Hey! This was a shitload of fun to make
I was thinking about how creepy it would be if in the future, people start neglecting their real bodies to exclusively live in downloaded indistinguishably real simulations. There would be all kinds of interesting philosophical debates to have, and loads of conflicting opinions on the technology. It's an idea I might explore more, especially if people dig it.
Hope you like, please let me know what you think!
Prints here!

Yep, an "Holodeck" kind of device would actually be the end of humanity as we know it!
Amazing art, I love the concept and the colors. The character's anathomy is great as well!

If life become like that in the future and I'm still alive, I think I'll become crazy XD This would be too creepy O.O

Very cool, dude! My only suggestion is probably flipping the canvas. So it reads a little better

I think it's intentional to see the utopia first, then the cruel reality.

What a neat concept, the picture illustrates it quite well. It can even be attributed to current second-life games, though this is on a much more frightening level. Love it man.

Love the idea. I think this is a wonderful piece. What's not to like? You have science-fiction based on cerebral interactions and indulgence. You should totally explore this!

I love it when great ideas meet great craftsmanship. That's where art is. Congratulations!

I really like the idea behind it. It is interesting and somehow creepy, but still I guess most people would sooner or later try it.
also.. ohmygoshthepaintingwhyareyousogoddamnawesome! I really like those colors on the edge, like a soap-bubble.
You are awesome.

This is awesome, but can I just say, the guy on the right's face is not immediately readable. I thought the two white "plugs" were cartoon eyes and the ear was a mouth. It was kind of freaky.

You are killing it, sir. Great job.

Beautiful work and colours! I really like the idea.

The "real" guy looks quite close to people in Matrix...and probably he has just as much power over his live as they have...
Beautiful concept and great job with colours and contrasts!
