The Beginning of the End (Remake)

Remake of a couple years old work of mine: The Beginning of the End
I don't usually remake old works but I stumbled upon this photo of Barcelona and I couldn't stop myself from making my hometown have some of its own apocalypse too.
Again, this work is inspired by amazing manga/movie Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo.

Jajaja un ratillo me pasé con eso. xD Muchas gracias!
Pues la perspectiva aquí la hice con la Custom Shape Tool, hace tiempo bajé una forma que es como un asterisco de como 20 puntas y eso lo duplico y lo roto para que haya mas divisiones.
A veces las hago a pinzel por eso, con la cuadricula, y luego un Transform para inclinarlas etc, depende de lo que necesite....
Hay parrillas de perspectiva para bajar en "shapes" por ahí, lo que soy perro y me mola montármelo yo. xD

That's a very amazing DOF Roger, it has that kind of feel that the longer you see the more details will come to "light"..of course it will, because there is this big apocalyptic scene happening at the background. Not to forget the wires in the foreground even though blurred from the vision gives this art a very complete look.
Wonderful artwork and as always beautifully done.

Thank you so much! 
The wires actually made me flip the canvas, it felt like they are contributing to the dynamics and I wanted them to lead downwards.
Funny we had just talked about volumetric lighting cause I was debating if I should do it here or not... Finally decided not to, to keep more attention in the details but now I feel like it kind of is missing there too.. which I think adds to the un-flashiness of it.

It didn't take me as long so I'm sure you can do it faster.
I'm learning that it's not so much about the technique but more about what you can project in your mind and how you perceive the artwork, as in light, color and such. Also a tablet would help a lot and there are very affordable ones in the market (like $35) if you just want to try one out.
