It invokes a lot of emotions for me, so I truly enjoy it!
It echoes an idea I had a couple months ago, but never got around to doing:
Some human policemen and a suspect in a shootout on a rooftop in New York City, staring at the sky as a gust of wind knocks her hat off. In the distance not too far away is a Sonic Rainboom. The title would have been, “Meterological Anomaly over Central Park.” I’m so happy someone else did a similar idea, and wonderfully to boot.
If I may be so bold to recommend something: I think that, when you do something similar in the future, you should try to either render the mid ground (the building rooftops and walls) with less texture than the foreground (the bricks and furniture). That is, distinguish the two compositional layers more. Make the mid ground vaguer, more indefinite, more different in texture.
It’s not like I’m able to do better myself though; I’m just a beginner. XD
Again, wonderful job.
Here's a breif summary of what I think:
I love the harsh and excesive shading on the city and the room, it presesnts the idea that the real world is an unpleasent place - with the condition of the room adding to the feel again due to the heavy shading on th comfort iteams like the chair. It siggests that they don't reallybring any comfort.
However, opposed to this is the rainboom in the background. This, unlike the rest of the drawing which is done in a very detailed and harsh manner, is drawn with simple lines, almost childlike. This presesnts the impression that it is pure, unaffected by the world around it and that to go there and be where that rainboom is, might be an escape from the unpleasentness of reality.
That's just my 2pence, decided to give a breif overveiw of what I got from the picture.
As a whole, it is very clean work. Your shading, while over-the-top for effect, isn't dominating, and is well done. Your line work is also very nice and the lighting has very few to no errors that I can see - I'd have to nik-pick to find them.
You also done a fine job with the perspective.
Overall: A job well done here, mate.
