Another inspired piece from Defonten, famous for his earlier City Ruins and Cafe of Broken Dreams, Brand New Reno:

<center></center><blockquote>Well, I'm back into my tenderly loved "fallout" genre ;) A few words about the painting. Did this for personal satisfaction and fun for about two weeks. The initial very rough sketch on paper was done while I was on the plane returning to my home country from New York city. So it was definitely NYC that inspired the initial sketch and composition. Due to my daytime freelance work I was able to work on this piece only at nights which regularly brought tonns of slippers thrown onto my poor head by my wife ;) Another great thing that inspired me and kept me in the right "mode" are two iconic songs - legendary song by Ink Spots - "I don't want to set the world on fire" (1941) and Lois Armstrong's "Hello Dolly" (1965). I didn't use any photo references or photo footage but did use 3D throughout the composition. The biggest 3D element in the scene is the foreground "RENO" signboard (fully overpainted though).


In the "fallout" universe, New Reno setting is definitely one of the most impressive and dramatic places that the central character encounters on his quest. So I thought it would be fun to kind of improvise a little on the idea and concept of post-apoc New Reno and try to make a little "research" on the way it could look in real life. </blockquote>
 
sweet (though a lil' too crowded?).

i also dont know what to think of the canons, but it's still damn sweet. :)
 
Those were cannons? I thought they were 2nd floor waste disposal tubes exposed due to that portion of the building collapsing...

Yesh I also agree however that it seems far too cluttered, but a hell of a lot better than I could do, damn good pic, definitely one you should feel proud of!

-Edit-

Bloody hell, does anyone have an NMA translator, I find I miss almost half of the conversations at least when people start popping in other languages, there's no problem with that mind you, just that I'd like to understand what's being said at least once in a while. :wink:
 
Wasteland Stories said his mouth is agape. Y'know..."my jaw dropped"

Actually, using foreign languages on the english forum is against the rules, but we usually don't care.

Yes, it's too cluttered, but still...hell yeah :ok:
 
They're too busy with immershun to try and make really good art, or even half decent art, hell I don't even think it's up to par with some high school art!
 
Not bad, not bad at all. I'm missing something in this picture, though, something which would make me say "Fuck me, this is superb!" I can't honestly say what that would be, maybe a different color tone, more emphasis on the background and less on the close cadre.

But an enjoyable piece of art, to be sure.
 
10 out of 10!

I loved it, I realy did. The only thing I am not sure about is the gun's that appear to be from a battle ship.
 
Just open it on some image editor and do some zooming to catch the million great details it has. Awesome, fantastic, wonderful!

Defonten wanted to work for Beth, but there were some "problems" with labor permit or something similarly crappy... (he's a Georgian)
 
Nice art, but I agree there's too much 'stuff' in there. Still, really nice and impressive

Have they played FOs? Or know what FO is about?
There you have it.
 
good job
but a little thing that sucks about it and which keeps it from being totally awesome:
it's too grey,.. need some contrasts, more black
