45 Incredible Futuristic Scifi 3D City Illustrations
Futuristic cities have always fascinated me, as a fan of SciFi TV shows, movies, and digital art, futuristic city designs always bring me inspiration. Everyone can find quite a lot of stunning illustrations on sites like deviantArt.
Many artists have become so skilled at Photoshop and 3D software that they create almost photographic illustrations of whole cities with incredible detail and precision.
I have been inspired by these illustrations and it makes me work harder at everything I do; I hope you will feel the same. If you find other amazing art, please send it to us, we will use them in our upcoming articles.

Re: Worth enough? by radoxist
Just wondering about the caption on this one: Why do you assume that the countryside located outside of the metropolis represents "poverty"? Seems like a huge logical jump.
