Are you sure you don't mean inspired by Waterworld, undoubtedly the greatest post-apocalyptic movie of our time?

Nope, me too. It almost looks like one of those posters that'd be up down there... I love Bioshock!

I may not be getting whatever specific reference inspired this, but I'm getting my own vibe. The colors combined with the crisp lines.... Yeah. Just - Yeah.

Wow..I love every bit of this! Plus, I'm a sucker for ocean-related shirts..This is a really good design and idea, though. Definitely got my vote! Good luck! (I want one!)

Fantastic design. The directional pull of the layout is great with nice color highlights, selection, and ratio with the grayscale. Good attention to detail with the complimentary elements. Nice treatment of the buildings in the back and the texture you applied to them to help recede back into space. Fun design/concept/execution. I don't think there's even a nitpicky problem about tangents. Whoo!
Good luck in the derby!
I'm quickly becoming enamored by your art style. (And I've been lurking for a short while now.)

Thanks everyone for all the great comments! I'm glad I was able to finish this one (and glad I had the whole week to do it otherwise I probably couldn't have).
As always, thanks for voting!

Pull up a chair and have a seat in the front row with your pals CrescentDebris, Drakxxx and TGentry. We're just watching the show, scarfing down some chips & dip. We've got everything from water and coke to vodka and gasoline. What can I get you?

Pass me a rum and coke.
Though I can't complain as I still have one in the show.

Re: City Without Words: Jumped Into A River...
This should be resubmitted (if they allow it) for this week's derby (154 - Cities). I'm sure it'd go far... this was awesome.
