Context Project - The Future

From a contemporary art class, these two are from my contextual project. As much as I'd like to go into the lengthy explanation of research, which was about a 10 minute power point presentation, i'll give you half assed excuse. Basically, they're just supposed to be examples of a personally envisioned future, one being humanity's expansion into space, the other a shining utopia in the wake of mankind's devastation to the planet. Both done in photoshop, both around 4-6 hours of work.
