52 Chimneys

[Terro]

I was recently wathching a special on the History Channel about the San Francisco fire. They showed a snap shot of a few houses and something cought my eye. Most of the homes were completely turned into rubble except for their chimney, which stood as always but now very visable. I decided to paint a cityscape turned to ash with 52 chimneys standing strong. I want it to kind of look like a industial forest, so I may have to add more chimneys, lol.

Here's my early sketch.

Heres an image I found on the web that shows off some of these chimneys.

Good project. Should be a powerfully haunting image. Can't wait!

By the way, why the number 52? Any significance?

[Terro]

Yes the 52 does represent something but I can't explain it.

Here is todays update. I have to work real slow with this damaged thumb.

That's looking good oh thumbless one. Sounds like 52 means something quite personal, I shall not intrude. Nice work. That'll look excellent in the end for sure.

Looks really spooky and desilate. I watched the documentary on Dicovery chanel too. Man that had to be really terrible to live through.

Just wondering how the 52 chimneys is coming along? Any updates or are your thumbs preventing you from upoading?:D

Seriously though, I would love to see how that's progressing.

If you don't finish it, me and John are gonna blow a few extra fingers off ya! :Xead: :eek:

Sorry crew, no updates as of yet. Didn't have time to add anything yet, but I will.

Another small update. I feel like I'm taking this image down a different path.
