This is the second version of the picture Judgment day. (This one is published in SKUM mag as. an illustasjon to an article about judment day). I used two pictures from my hollidays to do this picture: The town under is Stirling (taken from the wallace monument). The Wave is taken from the beach of Donnant in Belle-Isle, France. The rest is a couple of scanned doodles, and 10-11 houres of Photoshop and Corel Draw (with about 30 layers). Enjoy!

I believe, I prefer this one. In the first one there was, in my oppinion, a little too much contrast between the girl and the background. Now the elements seem to fit better with each other, and the over-all feeling of the piece is much more balanced.

I like the additional effects on this one aswell. Much more drama and movement. The prev. version was more like a random catastrophy, where this one indeed is an apocalypse. There will be little left of the known world after this 2

I really enjoy the " end of the road " element... it just drops off into all of that chaos, and the girl looks so sad..it's an awesome image.

1 Erik J. Wiborg replies: "Hehe, It actually was supposed to look like the road continued behind her, just that you could´t see it because she was on top of a hill or something. But annyway, thank you for the comment!!"

You think I have talent!? This is something I could never do. It's absolutely beatuful. Normally I would suggest cleaning the image up a little, but this looks wonderful the way it is.

1 Erik J. Wiborg replies: "Hehe, glad you liked it! I spend a lot of time with it, nice to know it is apreciated! I´d be a little bummed out if you´d ask me to clear up the image when i spent so much time putting on the details! Thanks for the comment, and yes you are good, I could not have done much of whats on your gallery neither! C u around!"

This is absolutely stunning! The red light, the papers flowing about, the sad girl with the teddybear...stuff that create a perfect atmosphere for this picture. I can see you spent a lot of time on this one and it sure payed off! Well done indeed *is feeling a little sad now*

This image reminds me of the saying "As we came from ashes, we shall return to ashes." The young girl shows a sense of our own mortality, caught in a crossfire between multiple opposing forces that are the tidal wave, the interplanetary bombardment and the raging inferno. Also reminding me of another quote by a poet I can't remember the name of, "This is how the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper..."
I could go on giving so many quotes about this, but who in the right mind would throw up the book of the Apocalypse from the bible in such a small spot.
Your work displays the sense of our own mortality EXTREMELY well. kudos to you Erik J. Wiborg.
