Description I'll have to think up a better title for this, hehe.

It was first rendered in 3D, then with a lot of post-editing in Corel Painter.

I did it for a Color Concept assignment, called color subjugation in which I had to depict the very same thing, but totally alter the theme using only color. This is the "Earth Version" of my strange world. The question should be asked: What's stranger, something with totally unrecognizable surreal elements, something consistently strange? Or is it something with strangeness among a familiar setting. What has more dissonance?

Anyhow, the actual subject matter was originally a geothermal power plant. I had the idea of something that would set remote controlled slow-release detonation device that would pump up a steady stream of thermal energy at volitile points for consistent power generation.

The figure is me, in the position of a tourist.

Image searched it. Yeah, I can see it. Probably reminds a lot of people about a lot of games because it's kinda... "gamey", hehe.

I recognize that! I still think the figure should have been a fat bald guy in a loud Hawaiian shirt....that would have been awesome.... still I really liked how your project turned out.

Never done Halo but I'll take your word for it.

I guess there are only so many basic forms/color sets/compositions out there, though I'll imagine a lot of artists hate to realize it.
