Description

OK so basically I'm obsessed with this apocalypse thing! Im on a tear now; making composite "movie posters" for a show that doesn't exist, but i just can't help myself.  This one is sort of a still frame of a scene, possibly towards the beginning. Maybe the narration of the scene goes like this:

"The missiles began launching at 7:46 PM EST.  The earth began rumbling beneath our feet with an unfamiliar sound that I've only heard in movies.  Huge roars of missile silos hidden beneath the 5 boroughs of New York began to overtake the evening.  Explosions from manholes, subway stations, stores, and even neighboring Liberty Island-home of the Statue of Liberty-could be seen for miles.  Flash bangs, followed by bright lights and smoke trails were all over the horizon.  One by one, the missiles were launched; each one more powerful and deafening than the last; all on a mission to Russia with one purpose- a full scale thermonuclear war.  I'm not entirely sure who fired first, us or them, but none of that matters now.  Everything that I've come to know- school, work, fast food restaurants, even my iPhone, were soon going to be figments of my imagination, from a world that no longer exists.  In the air above Rockaway, Queens, as well as parts of Brooklyn, i can see what appears to be oncoming missiles; flashes of moving lights that look like comets, headed straight for Manhattan-headed straight for us.  It is at this moment that it hits me- Oh My God, its all over." 



Stocks of NY and surrounding boroughs from Google.  This is an effort of several images that were pieced together and whatever i couldn't find, or match, i drew.  i.e. the Freedom Tower in downtown NYC in the distance.
Missiles and accompanying flashes, lights, smoke trails were hand drawn.  Hope you enjoy! Don forget to comment!

Though, I do not want to see the world come to an end, this photo is still amazing.
