And I don't remember if I submitted this before, but this was one of my older works made between 2-3 hours.
In the first image, the Excalibur is on the lower right, and we already know how big that thing is, and the creature is far enough away that there would be distant horizon fog (I need to work on rendering creatures again; as well as figure drawing for any people to render). The second image is closer the the average quality of the comic that was mocked, and if anyone wants to re-create it in DF, be my guest (it'll probably have to be shrunken down, but still cool to see). And the third one was more of an experiment of both rendering a different environment (buildings projecting out of the island, and some built into the island, and the whitespace below where the ships are passing by, that's the outer wall of one of the mega-buildings that make up the megalopolis of the core-most portion of the island (which qualifies, since it leads straight to the top-most megalopolis of Revielle (The city of Light), which is equally massive, and the Megalopolis of Earth, connected by Dark and Light spans the entire core of the island upwards and downwards). Oh yeah, and those are highways that go along the outside of the island from time to time. Helps for looking for buildings to head toward, as well as looking for the right exit.
Funny thing, I came to the conclusion that the city mapping and infrastructure (especially internally), and the shape of the island I developed, turns out the cities and temples are arranged in a manner that proposes that the island was formed around a mega-weapon the size of Hawaii, or at least, one of the smaller islands. Yep, another utterly massive doodad in the crazy-ass universe of mine.
For a good idea of the whole universe I call "The Second Nature", think of the GURPS System at TL12+ (Anything Goes). Anachronism is the norm, God is stoned and drunk, and maybe took some LSD, I don't know, and sometimes He's a character that visits from time to time to serve as a literal Deus Ex Machina, and after enough mad scientists and ascensions of all kinds of people and so forth occurred; imagination nearly becomes an actual science or some crap. Let's just say, if there was another universe that was made up of the entire universe's imagination, this would be it. Theoretically, it's magnitudes larger than our own universe, and we can only explore oh so much. The only way to experience everything would be being immortal, which is actually practical now, since space travel and Hollywood-science and such, and in some cases cartoon physics (including anime) is possible. Simply put, it's a clusterfuck of what-the-fuck. To try and make sense of it would be like translating a Necronomicon into all known languages (which, funny enough there, has been done).
EDIT:
As I submit more work, I don't care if anyone wants to re-render them or build them in DF or whatever. I'm just in it for the art. My professional graphic designing is more for other crap that catches my interest (freelancing and all, and making an income), and even with that I can care less about copyrights and such involving my work. Like I said, I'm in it for the art. I do it because I have fun doing it. Then again, it wouldn't hurt being credited as the inspiration. The way I see it, if my inner universe is anything to go by, there's no such thing as originality. I mean, it's the ultimate crossover in there, with Star Wars and Star Trek, Farscape, Lexx, Doctor Who, and just about anything else sharing the same space. Speaking of which, Lexx would obliterate the Death Star in a jiffy.
Oh yeah, and the cause of the delay of uploading, I forgot to reinstall my printer/scanner's drivers since my old HDD crapped out.
EDIT EDIT:
Oh yeah, I think I said it on the Anime thread, or at least the Happy thread, but in regards to my 'Second Nature' universe, Space Dandy (with maybe a touch of Tenchi Muyo universe) is probably the most accurate interpretation I've seen so far of how it is, and every bit as insane. Maybe I'm not the only one that's seen it? Then again, being a universe made up of imagination, we've all seen it?
EDIT EDIT EDIT:
Oh yeah, one more thing, I've been having all these flashes of this 'verse all my life; it mostly manifested by my teenage years, slightly earlier than that (hitting 10, I think was when I noticed it the most). With schizophrenia developing, that's when things got weird (like it started interacting with me, and some of my full-sensory dreams, even when awake, plopped me right in the middle of it). Fortunately, I learned to harness it, instead of removing it. Short story, I have a double-lifetime's worth of this crazy stuff yet to be rendered and explained. You'll be in for a ride once I get back to drawing regularly again (and re-rendering in 3D some of them).
I guess you can say, I nickname that universe as The Second Nature, since it has become second nature to me. I ever become sane, then it'll be like a portion of my soul goes missing. Fuck sanity and being normal; I prefer happiness. Plus, as long as I'm a high-functioning member of society, despite this "flaw", why should anyone care?
