Moving Dayby *MikeDoscher

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Sci-Fi

The spires of Titan City float on the air in the afternoon sun, needles of hyperengineered carbon and bronze balanced on their S-Drives, so many refugees from the law of gravity. When the buildings can move, fortunes, squabbles, and alliances can all be figured out by location, location, location. Repossessions and buyouts are parades, and the touring inns, street vendors, and taxis all make their pickups and deliveries regardless of location or movement. Taxi to the lower lobby. Lee Ho Fuk's dropping off the daily MSG to the design studio. $200NHK sly to the inn coxswain to circle the block again so the guy in 106 can try and catch sight of that girl on the roof of Heinrot's again. Happy to oblige. It's your money.

Older buildings and tight fits require special tenders to maintain safety. Here we see one of the first needles moving spinward, her glamor spent and her steel dotted with prion damage. Miracle crystal pits as the micromachines pass their terminal dates and the building passes into the faceless oblivion of transient housing and the legal shell game of light industrial work.

A tourist snaps a picture.

Thank you. I've been doing this pretty much all my life, but I've been doing game art full time for nearly ten years now. I came into this relatively late in life, being in my early 40s now. My background is actually in fine art and sculpture. Game art gave me a way to let more people experience and interact with my stuff.

I love the spirit you've caught here. The phone's a nice touch too. Your sci-fi peices have this sense of wonder and awe that sends chills down my spine. Breathtaking.

That is a very cool and original concept, floating builds that travel from place to place. Incredible designs, and coloring.

I just can't get enough of your art deco future!
I'm not sure about the cell phone in this one, but the rest is amazing!

Great, like it.

~geoBRS Sep 7, 2010 Student General Artist

WOW ... The details are amazing!

Dude, you sure know how to spin a story so that a reader just gets sucked in, and that is one hell of a feat considering that was only two paragraphs! It made me feel like I do after finishing a particularly good book, like I don't want it to end, and end up waiting a year or two for a sequel. And the picture just pulls everything together. You rock in every sense of the word.

Now I'm going to have to go sniffing around your page looking for more of your writings.

Cheers!
