I drew this piece as I enjoy dystopian landscapes and surreal art pieces. Like the works of Simon Stålenhag with The Electric State, which added a dystopian future of a retro-futuristic America. Also, the world of Fallout, with the 1950s themes and infrastructure, is set in a post-apocalyptic America. 

The art shown here is drawn on a 14 x 14 wooden panel. The stroke technique that was used has a mixture of cross-hatching and scribbles. The inter drawing is drawn with pen and ink, except for the border that surrounds the drawing with black acrylic paint.

This wasn’t my first sketch. My final drawing was one of 10 failures. In my mind, I was envisioning a dystopian world riddled with battlefields of a long-ago conflict of AI. A world that had an AI uprising that involved nuclear fire to finally end the conflict. Most of the AI would have controlled 1950s-style animatronic bots from cartoons, as shown in the background of my drawing. Now home to a city of people occupying the AI’s corpse. Around the corpse is now the riddle city, San Francisco, being scrapped and looted to furnish their new home. With the help of air balloons as the main source of transport. But some still prefer to live on the ground like a girl by her pool. When drawing her, she needed to be cool like Cyberpunk 2077 but rustic enough not to outshine the city (Top Hat City). So her characteristic is someone who's lived a hard life. A life of an unforgiving environment, as shown by her robotic arm. The drawing was to show my love for the dystopian genre, but also the reimagining of a battlefield as a home to many.
