Description This piece evolved so much while I was making it. I created it in Adobe Photoshop CS3.

The Story:
The world is a different place these days. You could say it was because of World War 3, but that's assuming what took place was organized enough to be called a war. It was more of a nuclear happening. The survivors are left to make sense of a toxic world. They must keep moving to find clean air and food. Madness hovers over them as they struggle to survive.

Really like the coloration and that hint of golden haze rising above the buildings - gives additional credence to the masks. Can see "just sitting" as a rational reaction to finding one's self trying to survive. Believe the thought that those that were consumed in the initial blasts - may have instead been the actual winners, not those that linger in the aftermath...

i agree. i had this image in my head of those being left to deal with the aftermath would have to keep moving to find new resources. so much would have been destroyed that it may not be an easy task.

would definitely change the equation of survival of the fittest towards the more animalistic qualities in us. And I read somewhere, that there are more guns in america then cars, so survival percentage for travelers... would keep shrinking...

Very cool! Love the Post-Apocalyptic/Fallout style

And that looks a LOT like the roadside of 168th, right before Blondo.
