TWBT 1 - Flames of the Horizon is an amazing piece of vector art. =eksteris great digital artist with lots to offer in the fields of simplicity and beauty. His vectors are quite masterful to behold with their everyday feel, however ekster always makes them seem a lot more interesting than your everyday occurrence.

TWBT 1 - Flames of the Horizon

Description

Initially, I was only going to do a single character piece that shows the pilot and her plane, but I decided it would be more fun to develop a story over several pieces instead. This is the first installment of the series which I am calling The Way Beyond Tomorrow.

Part 1: Flames of the Horizon

This first piece is the introduction to the series, occurring just before the moment of the apocalypse. Hundreds of miles away from the centers of civilzation on a lone airstrip, we see how it all began.


Prologue

In the beginning
Man created the machines
And the machines were taught to think
And became the slaves of mankind
Until the day they turned on their masters

As the apocalypse nears
It was they who unleashed
The harbingers of destruction
The flames of the horizon

To wipe out all of mankind

But there still lies hope
A fighting chance survives
Amongst the ranks of the bravest
And the few

For all that is left of mankind
