Decaying, Decrepit, and Dilapidated Hamlets and Dwellings
Artwork showing the degradation of architecture or society: run-down, grungy, or ramshackle yet inhabited and populated towns or houses
Is it derelict, or abandoned and then re-inhabited? then it may be more suited to Imaginary Wastelands

POP CULTURE DYSTOPIA
PART TWO
In this ongoing series I'm exploring dystopian world of pop-culture icons.
The main goal of this series is to learn how to use Substance Painter and how to implement it in my texturing workflow. Majority of the textures are made procedurally in Substance Designer. In this part I also started creating and using photogrammetry assets I made with Sony A7 and Agisoft Photoscan
Tools used: Cinema 4D, Octane Render, 3D Coat, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, World Machine, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Zbrush and Agisoft Photoscon.

concept art for a great-looking mistborn game, but i think it may unfortunately have been quietly cancelled as there's been no word since 2021 and the website is down
it's a different image to the other posts, but it's from the same artstation project so i'm cross-posting it for transparency

For my project Daybreak I imagined the last remaining city would be highly congested with surviving generations. Like any society, there is a natural hierarchy, and in this one the common people are stuck on the lower levels in most parts of the city. Inhabitants compete to build their homes in prime spots that are linked to bridges and higher levels of the city.

This is another environment design for the short, dieselpunk inspired film I worked on a while back, and an homage to the great Victorian civil engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isambard_Kingdom_Brunel
Not my proudest lighting moment, but design wise, I achieved what I was after. The title comes from William Blake's poem Jerusalem. It was one of many sources of inspiration, chief among which, was an incredible passage from H.G Wells' book In The Days of the Comet. Unfortunately, ArtStation has a word limit in the description box, otherwise I would give it here. All I can do, is urge you to read the book. It may not be as well known as his War of the Worlds, or The Time Machine, but its easily his best. A more frank, honest description of the trials and tribulations of young manhood, you will never find
