I continued the photo arranging and editing as illustrated previously, to depict scenes of destruction around the world- this time more subtle, with no obvious cause.

This piece features the German Reichstag, the addition of smoke digitally drawn.
This piece made use of a Czech church along with a photo in the foreground put out of focus to give the impression of proximity to the camera. The idea with this piece was to show that even holy places aren't spared from the forces of Hell.
I discovered while researching that another artist working with the apocalyptic scenery theme coincidentally also has a number of Manchester-based pieces. James Chadderton, citing games and films of the genre as influences, has digitally re-imagined familiar and iconic Manchester scenes in a devastated, barren and ghostly post-apocalyptic state.

Chadderton has since produced more works featuring other locations in this vein for Electronic Arts as game concept art. His images are fascinating and inspiring, I aim however to arrange my own environments in addition to identifiable and well-known locations in order to give the impression of a global event.
