ApocalypticArt - where the remnants of humanity's past meet the promise of an uncertain future. This is the place for apocalyptic wastelands, remains of once-thriving metropolises and forgotten relics of a bygone era.

Always credit the original artist when creating a new post!

A good title format that's used on !digitalart@lemmy.world is: Image title by Artists Name, so let's use that here, too.

Provide a link to the image source or the artists' gallery / social media account(s).

Posting your own work is allowed and encouraged, but please let the community breathe and don't spam.

Don't post AI-generated art, since the legal situation regarding ownership is very shady.

All artworks are copyright of the artists named in the posts. Artists gallery links may contain NSFW works.

If this wasn't posted originally 11 years ago, I'd assume it's AI slop.

Why is there a mountain towering skyscrapers in a city?
Why is there a river and waterfall, half way up a skyscraper? Are some of the buildings build in a ravine, or why do some of them extend way further down than the bases of others?

So you expect human art to be perfect? That's not how the world works. I think it's a good composition, even though a setting like this wouldn't make perfect sense in the real world.

This is better and more real than AI art, for sure.
