Orange Apocalypse

I recently blogged a visit to Drune:BladeRunner City. It wasn’t till I read this post of Veyot’s, that I realised the landing point, there, provides access to another build, as well…

… this seems to be one of the earlier ‘Drune’ builds, but now totally overgrown…

… the palette here is only a couple of colours off being monochromatic…

… the main colours being orange and brown, with yellow/orange lighting…

… the effect is pretty stunning…

… one of the human’s all-time favourite books is ‘Dhalgren’, by Samuel Delaney, it’s about a contemporary American city that has somehow shifted into a parallel dimension, and there are sometimes strange celestial bodies in the sky… the light is always very odd, there… this place makes me think of Dhalgren…

… the light, and the lush overgrowth, make the place feel somnolent and surreal…

… even though there has obviously been been some pretty twisted violence here, the place now feels, somehow, sleepy and safe…

… like the world at the end of time…

… where everything is gently settling into entropy…

… waiting for us all to just go to sleep.
