If Futurama was Real...
...well, what I think it might look like.

Just sharing a larger version of this, my personal favorite photo-illustration. It took a couple weeks of work, fitting in time whenever I could, so i don't have an accurate hour count. Most of the major elements were purchased from istockphoto.com. I like the appeal of the the city in the opening credits; it's completely busy from ground to air. I usually try not to make things so cluttered or without a clear subject... this had a collage feel in the end and I think it helped capture that ongoing busyness of the cartoon city.

The original image was created for a Worth1000.com contest.

Wow!! this is great work. I like how you included from the beginning of how you created each of the characters . Great Job
Amazing detail! I'm constantly in awe of your work, D.
Amazing stuff Dylan! I love the progress images too.
the street sign in the background is in Japanese. the kanji are hard to see, but i think i can see Eki Mae, which mean some station. my japanese is not that good so i might be wrong. here in japan they do not have proper street names, just signs telling you where you are.
all hail hypno toad!
Watch out! someone might make a live action cgi movie out of it if they see this!
Sooo Coool!
Nice retouching skills
I hate that people can do this. Why do I have to suck at it so much? I mean, don't get me wrong, I draw a killer stickman, but photoshopping and freestyle drawing just aren't my things.
Good job.
If Futurama WERE Real --> Subjunctive
Hah! This is awesome. You sir are the man.
One of our local landmarks is in there! Spinnaker Tower, Portsmouth, UK. Very unique work, the cat and dog are a nice touch.
That's amazing, man! Great stuff.

I see you're a big fan of Futurama too..what about doing the Professor? Or Morbo...

Thanks!
There are plans(hopes) to continue this as a series. Professor for sure. Hadn't thought of Morbo, but I'm liking the idea now.
You do some really awesome work. do you sell prints of any of it? you should I'd buy it! Keep it up, nice job.

Thanks!
"but how did you make hipno toad real please show us"
If I have time I could bring out the layers, but the Toad wasn't too difficult. I really just took the one layer of the toad source (masked) and painted in the eye colors on a new layer with a soft round brush. Straight up PS painting.
"and i hav saw this on 3 web sites now did you really make it"
Not a bad thing to be asked. Most sites where I've seen this image have been kind enough to leave my name and website on the image; I hope you saw it there too.
Very cool.
Someone else tried also, but not as realistic as yours http://ansamaa.org/gallery/184/
Great vision of future man.You have done a really good work and emphasized each of the character in just your very own way.
wow, Lila is hot =)
"Bandwith exceded." Sad face.
Is 'Leela" based on the actress, Jennifer Garner?

No, but the model does look a lot like her! Just some lady found on istockphoto.
