Description
Dusk's falling on my decadent reality. My everyday landscape keeps drowning, I'm a microscopic orange stain in a rusty universe. I hope you'll come tonight... Surprising thread of my thoughts, my guide and lover, let me cross again the dark frontier of my fantasies! So close but uncertain to reach, this blurry paradise hides behind my eyelids.Release me... and I'll fade like a drop in the infinite ocean of a dream.

'Below the Rust' is actually my biggest painting (it is 1.2 x 0.8 meters wide), and the one I have spent the longest time on. Five months, doing an average half-time work. The fact is that I can't help myself doing those small details that nobody can see. Using a 1-hair brush on a canvas that wide is totally insane!
This is only oil paint on canvas, but before starting to paint I made many sketches, and even a colorized version with photoshop (to set up the right colors).

It has a very Dystopian-Escher feel. Beautifully done.

"I can't help myself doing those small details nobody can see"
I know this feeling exactly! When Making something thats like 40000 pixels by 50000 Pixels, with 600 res. I will still go in with a 0.5 Pixel Brush in Clip Studio, to fix that small detail~ XD
Great job on this painting ~ I love the Colors, and Accents~

For some reason, my first thought is how to get out of the water and climb up into the buildings and be useful for my team.

So interesting it reminds me of a story I had made. Of a city underwater, the people there brainwashed and left to be mindless citizens. They were captured above, and sent to the watery city. A girl recently sent there is helped by a guy who is a soldier of the militery there he helps her to escape.

This is absolutely phenomenal! Paint is not my forte, I would never have gotten all of the detail on this without my colored pencils. The detail is fantastic, every time I see it I cannot help but marvel at its beauty.Β
