@Eric, the earth can barely handle the burden of 6.69 (current) billion people, so i wouldn’t wait around for it to hit 30…
also i don’t understand why people call the message bullshit… that we’re affecting the planet beyond repair? (at least nothing we can fix…)
why is environmentalism bad?

It reminds me of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, with the endangered greenery and all. I appreciate the details and atmosphere. (i.e. the wind and it’s effects, the silhouettes in the background, the ground over the cliff, the tears in her eyes, etc.) Well done. ;)

The galaxy Andromeda will crash into the Milky Way in 2.2 Billion years. The sun will be so hot in 1 Billion years that there will be no more water on the earth. A lot of what the Heaven of the Bible may be about is the intelligence of ancient astronomers saying look above the sky we are racing through at this moment could fall on you at any time. If some thing large enough came through and hit the sun, there would be one large flare and then cold, just like Revelations predicts or warns? As the ice cap melts it brings more water into the ecosystem to feed more people, all we have to do is irrigate with it better. We may even have to drain the oceans and store all of our precious water as long as possible, leaving room for even more people. The people we don’t have room for are those out to make a buck spreading fear and ignorance.

Gee, I guess I’m supposed to offer up a smart-ass comment so everyone will think I’m cool. But then again, I don’t like everyone.
I do like this picture though. Wonder if the theme is something you’ve seen before because it’s something that matters…and you’re still not listening?

Makes you think and wonder what are the stories behind it all. You’ve done a marvelous work.

here’s the thing…
according to science, the planet has been here for billions of years. (even before humans) So, I’m reasonably sure that the planet will survive anything we can inflict on it with our ignorance.
according to the Bible, it doesn’t matter anyway because God is gonna wipe the slate clean whenever the mood takes Him. So, I’m reasonably sure that it doesn’t matter what we do to the planet.
Wonderful colors, really fits the mood. Thankfully, this sort of thing will never happen.

And I agree. Environmentalism is only such a big thing now because we’ve made it so with all our consumerism and wastefulness.

ya it’s rendered well but what the hell kind of message is it trying to say? “ok we’ve finished with Earth let’s go destroy some other planet”? and why don’t they need face protection and oxygen masks? if it’s gotten to the point where all the trees and plants are gone then there would be no air, not to mention the complete destruction of Earth’s atmosphere, and the raised temperatures of the Earth… ok ya that’s all.
@Robert Brent: everyone here can see how well this picture is rendered, but just like when you watch a movie you can tell what’s wrong with it. Avatar was beautifully animated but the storyline sucked, the characterization sucked, everything sucked except the effects. but I don’t have to make my own movie to say that do I?
I didn’t get the “We wrecked the en-vir-o-ment so we have to leave” vibe, I got “Holy shit, someone set up us the bomb, all our base belong to them so it’s time to GTFO.”
And yes, I think the latest “OH NOES!!! The Erfs is gonna MELTZ!!” is all bull, especially when you consider that in the 1950’s, it was “OH NOES!!! The Erfs is gonna FREEZE!!!”
And so, now that I’ve dealt with the distraction of all the foolish ones commenting on some pseudo-enviro-message…
Nice artwork, man. Blogged.

the technicals are lovely. The girl is everything Grzegorz Rutkowski seems to want in a girl~ nuture instict (plant), tiny waste, innocent eyes: the male is hidden. So if there are emotions in there, they’re tucked up in the “my suit accentuates potentional muscles” attire. ….a well done train wreck of present day’s (aesthetic?) values and fears…. Who cares if we saw wall-e do it:)

It looks like the last plant on earth is a venus fly trap. And it looks like that guy walking to the ship stepped in dog crap. Bet the said dog will eat that plant.

@ WORTHRUSS
Please read the Bible, don’t interpret it. Unless you’ve read it all enough times to quote it. By then you’d probably be able to quote it to back up your claims!
Everyone else who wants to criticize:
This artist can draw. Whether the Earth implodes or explodes or evaporates or Christ returns and rules and creates a new heavens and a new Earth (my belief), this artist has TALENT. I myself miss the wonderfulness of my childhood imagination. This piece excites that. Do we love to imagine hopeful futures, whether we believe in them or not? Seems like our culture (as a species) shows we do.

wow love the colorss
simply amazing. I love the emotion in her eyes…
Someday, this will happen, and I will cry too…
This is gorgeous. (:
Simply beautiful! Highly emotional.
Listen to “Sands of Time, by: Paul Spaeth” when looking at this photo.
reminds me of Wall-E… anyone else?
Very nice!
if that is the last plant… wtf are they gonna eat on the ship.
the day we left earth i carefully styled my hair and applied eye make-up.
word on thaddeus’s comment, nice artwork but poor choice of material, something original please?
Awesome artwork.. But I LOL at the stupid environmental message it portrays..
Her face kind of looks like Ashley Olsen’s of the Olsen twins.
I agree on the Wall-E thing. First thing that struck my mind. :)
I agree with the Wall-E reference too …brilliant work
Maybe if she hadn’t used so much conditioner for her hair, the earth might have stood a chance.
this is great. wonderful job of capturing the emotion of the moment in her face. i can see the tears welling in her eyes!
Beautiful. bullshit, but beautiful.
Great drawing/painting. makes you want to stay a while longer.

Whatever you say guys. This one is amazing. I like the emotion. And ohh.. this is art – It’s about IMPRESSION, not LOGIC. cheers!
That is such an incredible picture! The expression on the girl’s face is amazing. There is so much emotion.
