Description The cascading catastrophe consumed the city's old transportation lines.
All lay shattered and in ruin.
In this torn apart, twisted world hope was very dismal for the survivors.

heck yea, I mean, you'd have to have scouts up ahead to watch both the track AND work the switches (Which BTW would be both manually powered AND electronically powered) for the train, but day-mn a train would be the way to get around in post apoch.

No mutated beasts could touch it.

alexiuss In reply to Bit-Of-Fluff [2006-11-03 19:49:58 +0000 UTC]

the kind of answer where you avoid the question because you're too lazy/sick to answer it at the moment!
hahaha...

And now my asnwer-
a) I like to draw the apocalypse
b) It's my style. There's a ton of artists that just draw specific things to master them and to be known for it. I just want to be the best post-apocalyptic artist out there.
Why must you question my insane dreams?

DarkStarryRose In reply to alexiuss [2006-11-05 06:29:14 +0000 UTC]

I like your style. I think it suits you. I think the reason why everyone gets bored of the same thing is because they don't realize that they all come from the same world and the same time-frame. I haven't been bored by a single one of your pictures because I have a tendency to focus on the stories that they tell. And I think you're an amazing story teller. All have a detailed past, present, and future. So what if you use the same form of media/style to present most of your art/stories. Most artists do. I enjoy your work and I encourage you to continue to do what it is that you do so well.

Your strange Alexiuss and seem to have no area to grow from your responses... keep up your work but I don't see you getting growing... I currently see you in a rut of sorts unable to exapand past your current method. I appluad your work but think you can be better.. much better.. why not apply yourself to something different? Any actually reply with an intelligent response.

alexiuss In reply to Avestara [2006-11-03 19:41:03 +0000 UTC]

Hey I'm not in a rut. I'm just living under a rock. Why won't you stop poking my rock? Someday it will roll over and crush you at this rate. hahah

seriously though- all your responses are getting considered.
How can you possibly know how much I can apply myself, without being me? Maybe this is the best I can do. Maybe I try so hard, I'm dying from lack of sleep and hunger due to overworking myself?
Apply myself to something different... sure but... what? What is this "something different"?
Please to give a specific suggestion, o wise one.
If your specification is within my powers it will be drawn!
