Sudden shower came in mid-May’s afternoon 2030.

Get-off work crazy traffic condition underneath gives time-frame for the story. While everyone hurried on the way home, the ARM construction still took place to ensure the completion of project. A few final rays of red sunlight slipped through the dark clouds pouring into the building, highlighting typical steam of the world’s busiest city flowing around the additional structure.

The viewing angle shows the vertical linkage from the ARM, the Edge/30 Hudson Yards and the 10th Avenue when viewed from above yet a hint of the horizontal across link between 30 and 50 Hudson Yards. Such connection will break the air boundary and unite their universal residents among seven-towers.

"Construct" was my very first frame concept for the entry back then. The helicopter-camera-angle helps expose the vertical relationship between multiple Hudson Yards urban-layers, yet leaves quite a number of work for the image both in 3d and post-production. If you found the image confusing in the first place, I hope the short breakdown somehow gives you a better sense of the approach I took this time but don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any thought for the work!
