Description Hey guys!

Just another misfortunate day in the Wasteland that we all love!

Update: 11.09.2013

Thank you so much for the DD! Hugs and kisses for ^Emerald-Depths

This piece took some time to come together. Around 10 hours of work in PSCS6, 72 layers.

What's interesting is that the land is actually shot from a hot balloon (shoutout to `faestock ) and in my image the bushes are actually large trees

People reported several problems with the image - pespective issues (car and girl too big), lighting issues, but for now I haven't decided if I will change it. Let see how the feedback will go and we'll see.

Stocks used:

Ground by `faestock
Sky/Clouds by ~therainbowbrain
Gas Station by ~kuskostock
Buggy by ~DarkForce82
Demolished Car by ~DruidWuStock
Steampunk Mechanic Pack by *mizzd-stock

Textures from cgtexures.com as well as some custom textured brushes to simulate rust/wearing. Details like the tire marks, distant structures, cables are painted.

may i kindly ask your process of putting something like this together? how do you start and what techniques do you use to get all the elements correctly proportioned to the background. I struggle with this the most. I find your work so inspirational.

I will check if I still have the original *.PSD file with all the layers and if I still have it, I will send it to you so you can reverse engineer it

I just stumbled upon this. I really like the concept, the idea of no authority and a more serious sense of responsibility, in terms of survival, when placed in a wastelandish area such as this. Wonderful piece.

Perfect composition. Love the dusty feel of the entire artwork. The only thing that seems off is the size of the model. If she had been just a bit smaller, this would be perfect.

Hi Nikolay,
What can i say.....Well in these cases words are in +
because the work speach alone. The work with a clear view and solid story don't need words in + never....
The title of course is perfect!
In my experience and in general, who know drawing excellent as for example you.....after, he know how photomanipulate excellent too....Of course the artist need to have an excellent taste too.....and not always this happens!
In ur case u got an excellent tastes too!
this work is a "little" masterpiece perfectly balanced under each profile! U are great manipulating with these metallic desaturated tones! This is the most powerfull of the work! Tones, for me, at the end, give character to the work and they create a sort of enchantment!
Well of course the composition play a role so important...and here u have created a perfect mix of excellent resources!! This mix create the story....an excellent story.
Im not a professional artist but i'd like write you my best compliments the same. I'm happy to see these works as this because i like learn watching!
See u next!
