IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

        A bar of the future. The neon lights slowly glowing and skittering
across a fog strewn and pollution filled sky. Just after a long rain, puddles
still pool like murky reminders that the next storm could begin in seconds as
some of the populace take some time out to go outside.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

        It started off as a more light hearted image. Really all that was the
first thing was the Stolan's building, which was to be a lone building set in a
more laid back, 'last stop for 100 miles' type deal. Then the sign came in
next, and I had the notion to put it in more of a building complex, then I had
the futuristic city type idea that put into motion the streetlights and fog, as
well as the more futuristic looking parking meters. It was a painful thing to
setup, but I liked the finished product. Even though I would of liked to add a
few more people along the streets and in the building, a 486 couldn't handle
that, so yet again is creativity stopped by system performance.
