Artist's Comments

Government officials today released a statement ensuring citizens that the seemingly spontanious outbursts of fire were just "freak" incidents of trapped methane escaping from under the Earth's crust.
Police have blocked off the area in the hope of avoiding any fatalities..."

Journal Entry 34:The 'Bots are continuing to advance. All attempts at bringing them down have failed. Those of us who had faith that we would come out on top have long given up hope...All we have left to look out for is the end...."

this is kinda like a part one...here is the 2nd installment [link]


i began this as a speed-paint exercise in Painter X. after creating the 'Bot in the foreground i decided to keep going with piece.
i switched into Paint Shop Pro 8 where i layed down a background texture and began experimenting with custom brushes. i continued the process, switching back and forth between Painter and PSP untill i felt satisfied with the result.

comments and constructive critz are welcome.
hope you like it....

Great design and great composition, I think its sets the tone extremely well. Without reading the story my first impression was a city under siege by robots; love how you've managed that without an excessive amount of detail in the background.

The story you've added has me lusting for more.

woah, thankyou ever so much...
one of my original ideas was a city under siege but the detailing and busy-ness of what needed to be added just seemed to get in the way...
i tried many other different concepts (ships flying in, atom explosions etc...) but they just seemed to take away from the original idea.

so glad you like it. you have made my day by saying you want more....
thankyou again.
