Description
A city that's been abandoned for half a century. What happened to the previous inhabitants? War? Natural disaster? Disease? No one can say for sure, but after years of adventurers and fortune seekers disappearing, people know better than to try moving back in.Photoshop CS3.

Thought it was a scene from Prince of Poughkeepsie: The Worrier Within.
Looks great.

This is insanely good! The perspective is awesome and I love the individuation given to the buildings, really giving the place life. Abandoned places always have a special place in my heart. xD

Thanks David! Me too, I've always had a fascination with ruins and abandoned architecture. They always have this mysterious aura about them, like what stories could this place tell?

It doesn't help that the deserted city is in the desert, now does it?

I hadn't thought of it that way, but it does kind of look like that doesn't it? I went way too sparse on the vegetation and it looks kind of like a wasteland as a result, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but different from what I originally intended.

Well maybe the place became a desert as a result of over use and thus it was deserted. We gotta think outside the rectangle!

I can get a bit upset seeing your creations. Not because of your art, it is spectacular in my eyes. But because you don't seem to receive the attention you deserve!

Haha! Don't waste a second feeling bad for me, I'm not too concerned with how popular I am on dA. Plus I get such positive comments like yours to keep me encouraged!
Well, that and deep down inside I know I'm totally badass.

Neither am I (about my popularity) but it amazes me that good art like yours doesn't get more attention.
Good for you, "Selfknowledge is the first step to a better world"

I love the parts of the bridges that look like gears. Your perspective always make me jealous!

Thanks! I really love bridges, they help bring out that sense of depth in a picture. And you can put cool designs on them, like wings or gears or whatever.

Lookin' good for a 50 year old abandoned city. I'd expect more plants. But wow, scary. People disappearing and stuff. Scares the hell out of me and the end is all I can see.
I like the perspective.

Good point. I wanted to get more trees and moss in there but forgot about it. Haha, Muse right? Thanks.

You're welcome! Yup, Muse. Happened to be listening to them when I saw your pic. "Fitting," I thought.
