Just Waiting - Evolution

If you’ve been following this piece since the beginning, then this overview might be dull. The thing is, I’ve been working on it for a few years and I don’t think most of you saw the start of it…

#1 old version

so this is how it started. always wanted her to be in the city but I didn't know how to do an urban landscape back then, so settled for wasteland...

This is actually my favorite among the three, but I think it’s just me not being into busy urban landscapes ?

  it really does have a nice lonely feel, but I want to be able to do a sprawling metropolis…

#2 grainy

now I know how to do a cityscape, but this piece doesn't have the emissions done properly...

Grainy looks on artwork are different than seeing the image clearly.

    Nevertheless the grainy image is better than I see on television shows.

I have to say this piece continues to get better each time. Awesome! It officially looks like New Tokyo!

  I could call it Downtown NeoTokyo. Which might be better, since I hate MegaTokyo…

    or
    Neo Mega Neo Tokyo 🙂 sorry couldn’t help that.
    
    I find it interesting that many artists use Tokyo for the new world city.

      MegaTokyo is from Bubblegum Crisis and NeoTokyo is from Neon Genesis Evangelion… that’s my PSA for the day

        Thanks for the PSA, but there are many more references to the two than just the origins!
