Alternate lighting version of my entry, experimenting with creating more contrast between the buildings and sky.
In this image I wanted to show the first few seconds of what a player sees when entering the metaverse. Leaving their living room behind when putting on an Oculus headset and being transported to a new world.
My interpretation of the metaverse was partly inspired by the OASIS talked about in "Ready Player One" - I imagined a utopian world that people connected to and lived their lives through, so it was essential that it be filled with life.
I wanted to create a contrast between the vintage décor of the living room as it vanishes and the utopian city loading that surrounds it. The style of the city was inspired by brutalist architecture with it's heavy use of concrete and the detailing and grand scale of art deco architecture. Hopefully I managed to create a sense of scale showing the enormous scale of the buildings surrounding the viewer.
Hope you like it!
