Done on pscs3.

Very cool. I really like the casualness about the picture. Just another normal day in the future. Very nice.

hm...this piece feels quite a bit different from your others as the lighting is much, much brighter. Don't think, however, that I dislike the piece; it's really great! The lone man in the bottom left corner and the clouds look great, especially juxtaposed with the cold metal of the machines. This picture seems to make me think of humans/nature vs. machines and their mutual reliance upon one another (humans build/maintain the robots, the robots carry out tasks for humanity); it reflects present time a lot I suppose, but maybe I'm just reading too deeply into everything, heh.

hey, thanks. i rarely make artwork with nice bright blue skies. i just got this urge to create something reflecting my neighborhood/city.
it's great that you think critically because your views give me a different perspective from mine, so i thank you for that. expect my
next artwork to be a little darker. thanks again.

wow man, did u base this on a reference pic of the real kawasaki city? as always, love the detail, i had to take a second look to notice that megastructure hidden in the clouds.

hey, thanks. long time no hear. well, yeah(this is based on kawasaki city). i spent some time walking around my neighborhood and noticed a lot of VERY high rise buildings being built while run-down places like mine are being torn down. in fact, i gotta move cuz' my apartment is being torn down this summer. lol. and yes, there is a police substation a few blocks from here. btw, most neighborhoods have police substations to keep the peace. thanks again for the comment.

wow, sad to hear that your old apartment is being torn down. i've heard about how fast they modernize most buildings in Japan.

it's pretty old. but yeah, japan does modernize pretty quickly.

It looks like the shot is in the slums of the city, with the rich people living above the clouds in the background.
Whether that was your intent or not, I don't know.
I've always loved your art, and this piece is no exception.

yes, that was my intent, good observation.

That is awesome man. I like the background with the huge planet. Would never happen in real life because of the issues with gravity and physics but is really cool.

hey, thanks a lot! the huge thing in the back is a larger city(see the tiny buildings at the top?).

Oh no problem. I see that it is another city now.

Wow, that's fantastic! ^^ I don't know where to begin imagining what this place would look like in the future. No doubt the ocean will have taken over most the land (or frozen over).
Lovely work again.

thank you very much...or massive structures could cover huge bodies of water.
