The Mall by ~frenic is a stunning example of wonderful matte painting. The suggester said "No words can explain the amazing wonder that it is..." I have to agree. Take a look yourself, and be sure to follow the links in the deviants journal to see stages of this project. ( Suggested by baKIN and Featured by MistressWit )

Oh my goodness. How can this amazing piece have existed for so long without me, a hunter, ever knowing about it?

I like this look very much. I'm planning on using Maya in the near future, I'll probably use this as a guide for some city shots I'm thinking of.

I hope my mall would look like this one day in the future!

RJL7983 Featured By Owner Jun 30, 2011

Thank you for this gorgous peice. This seems like it would be the 28th century maybe the 2720s, this would be a somewhat modest courner mall, most of the other malls on Earth at this time would be many times greater in structure, with extensive space malls, this is just an imaginative intepretation, but anyway.

I remember your WIP as you built this and it still is one of my favourites, this would look good in the new Judge Dredd film

frenic Featured By Owner Aug 18, 2009

A few painted and others just boxes with good textures. The main building though the huge one is definitely Maya

frenic Featured By Owner May 28, 2009

Yeah! It will have malls, parks, a huge waterfalls, Heck! It even has a condo unit so that all you need to do is live there!.. The second tower also acts as an office space, hence the spaceport... so its a complete City in a Mall.

p.s. I glad you love it!

Gorgeous work. Love the sail shaped building in the background. The ironic thing is that I've seen proposals for buildings like this on "Modern Marvels" on the History Channel. This is a much more aesthetically pleasing design than the one's I've seen there. Well done!
