Description
That thing in the bottom left is a teleporter. It was going to be an elevator, but I forgot to make a bottom to it. Actually, I didn't forget, I just didn't bother. I think that actually reflects society quite a bit. They modify their mistakes to something even cooler. Although maybe it has negative side effects we don't know about... Maybe Wilbur and Orvile Wright were actually building a SPACE SHIP...but after everyone started using their airplane for military purposes, decided it was too dangerous to possibly put military in space. Bad example of course, since that is more of a moral thing, and not a "altering your ideas to match your mistakes" kind of thing. Like if you drew an image when you were little, of a snake eating an elephant, and everyone thought it was a hat instead, would you just say it was a hat, to make everyone happy, and pretend to be a decent artist of one thing, rather than a bad artist of another? And what if one day a little man from another world came along while you were stranded asking for a sheep, and you drew him the "hat snake elephant", and he said, No, I did not ask for a snake eating an elephant, i asked for a sheep, and you're shocked, because he knew what it was!
(that last part will have made no sense if you haven't read the book I'm talking about. My compliments to the first person to name the book)
Of course, adapting to society isn't always a bad thing, though once again it could be against your principles. Say you invent a flying machine which kills everyone who gets inside it. It wouldn't sell, so you would have to modify it so that it wouldn't kill everyone. After removing the motion activated spikes, it would sell rather quickly. well...I would buy one!

Sure sounds "A Little Prince" to me. Is that the right name? I was reading it and thought, "My, that sounds familiar." Glad to see you acknowledge the book. By the way, fantastic picture. (With all the time you spend on pictures, how do you ever get your homework done?). :)

Deep? The comment was deep? Uh oh. I have failed. Well, that's what you get if you just start typing without re-reading.

"It's not the pollution that's the problem, it's the impurities in the air that's the problem." Great political minds.

Nice tubes.

Excellent, like your meanings.
Flak
Very impressive - love that scale.
lemonjim
love the big pollution tubes! this seems to combine all my favorites in a single image - tastes of gevidal geometry and Rochr's glints, but ends up a different (and very tasty) 'soup'.
gasman
It wasn't "The Complete Adventures Of Curious George" was it? Am I at least close? ;-) Anyway, very beautiful piece of work.

Amazing! Thats some impressive modelling and the composition and pov are wicked. Awesome work and entertaining spiel :) vote

Nice big juicy toxic sludge, very creative futuristic scene. I like it!!
artworksco
Well,.. I'm impressed. Unlike the little prince though, i believe a snake eating an elephant makes a fine hat. ?:>)

You really are turning into a force to be reckoned with. I bet Rochr is watching his back. Great piece of work. And I'm a pushing that V button right now.
kenwas
Great scale and scope created by the angle of the pov. Excellent!

I think that you are absolutelly MASTER of industrial cities. I think I was just frozen and mezmorised by your city for 2 hours- looking at it, living in it, flying over it. Mind buggling!!!
madame
Impressive and brilliant work !
mrpotter
Ok Ian.....You have TOO much time on your hands! Both for the image and for the extremely long story about an elevator/teleporter. Nice city! I like the new metal color on those ginourmous pipes. vote

Looks great. How did you get all that detail in? Working on a picture now and I am getting the pinwheel(mac wait cursor) a bit too often.
