Over a year ago I wrote an article called Visual Punctuations, which was linked to sci fi scenarios and the structures that formally identified their environments, placing them in futuristic / imaginative settings. For instance, when you see a poster with a towering skyscraper that has a landing deck protracted from the side at its midpoint, that hints to the fact that there is a lobby up there - and that deck is a provision for a commercial Spacecraft or an advanced Hovercopter with VTOL capabilities to land and drop its cargo or personnel.In the image shown on the left [drawn by Greg Horn], although you see Batman and Catwoman, you will also observe their environment. And the ideas projected about their setting is a dark alley on a snowy day, illuminated by the spectacle of a kneeling woman in a latex outfit, cat ears and a tight corset, sipping a bowl of milk. If the background was completely blank, the image wouldn't loose its quality; however it would loose its sense of locational placement, forcing you to imagine what the unseen environment could look like.
I've assembled a host of images and wallpapers from around the Web, showcasing futuristic buildings / cities in sci fi settings - and as you gaze at the images and their ultra-modern environments, I trust that they will trigger your imagination. The digital artists behind these creations include Janditlev, Scott Robertson, Antifan-Real, James Paick, Fred Augis, aiRaGe, James ledger, Jett0, Andreas Rocha, I_NetGraFX and others.
