Description
I'm not a pessimistic person by nature. I'm not the sort of person to go around with a gloomy demeanour prophesising catastrophe. I am, however, someone who doesn't let an opportunity for wanton carnage and destruction pass them by.This started off as a lovely little piece, involving a doorway opening high up in the atmosphere of a planet (possibly Earth). When it was nearing completion, I realised exactly what it needed.
"Meteors. Lots of goddamn meteors!"
I added meteors, the planet became Earth and much Evil Cackling (TM) ensued. I hope you like it. I ceratinly do.

Great concept!
OK, things I like:
-the way the smudged edges of the building gives a tormented, stressful look to the thing.
-the way parts of the building are stripped away to reveal the inside - all done with admirable detail.
-the asteroids - I simply admire how you did those, to make them look like they're actually burning, not just white blotches.
Things I'm not so sure about:
-at the top of the building, what's the beige patch? It looks like a piece of wallpaper sticking out of the rest of the house, but that doesn't really make sense.
-the clouds look cool from far away, but in full view they're a little scratchy, sharp, cornered. This might have been your intention, but I don't feel it quite fits.
Hope my comments have been useful

Thanks
I think you noticed the same things about it that I did, I didn't quite have a plan for the top of the building, the beige bit's supposed to be part of another wall (possibly metallic) but it didnt come out right. The clouds, too. I spent a while on them and couldnt get them looking quite right. Like most things I do that with, they look ok from a distance but up close you can see the "experimentation"

A DD would certainly be nice. Unlikely, but nice

That is really awesome. I really like how you made the house look as if it had been torn off of something it makes it seem like it was torn out of the atmosphere. And your right the meteors do add a really awesome effect. Nicely done.

its a beautiful concept. The door way above the planet, and without the meteors, it just wouldn't be any fun.. now would it? The edge of the building the door is on really gives this feeling of destruction, since it seems to be braking off (maybe the reason for the meteors

Thanks.
The clouds are one of my least favourite bits in it. I just couldn't get them looking right. Also, the hallway, I think, could do with some work. It seems a bit detached, somehow
