But I went a little further in time to show what it would look like in the&nbsp;absence&nbsp;of people. A time when vegetation takes over and slowly breaks down our structures. Modern cities are a great benefit to people, but we need to remember they are temporary and aren't immune to the elements.</span></div></description><link>http://www.adamvart.com/2011/10/blog-post.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Adam Varga)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vMaf9erKh2Y/Tp3IJ-Z4o8I/AAAAAAAAAW4/E3BFLHwyPlw/s72-c/Apocalypse-Now-animated-smaller.gif" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170030157858734927.post-8871584892194723722</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jun 2011 03:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-05-10T08:07:21.920-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">matte painting</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">adobe photoshop</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">concept art</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">futuristic city</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">landscape</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">digital</category><title /><description><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> &nbsp;</span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pN6b9wvLkAw/TfrGrm4dggI/AAAAAAAAAV4/Cfq13pNb23o/s1600/Sun+City+walkthrough.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /> </a></div> <div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Matte Painting Walk through</span></b></div> <div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is a 5 step walk through of my recently completed piece "Sun City".
