The Restaurant at the End of the Universe Drawing

Friday · 23 May 03 · 01:00 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Art

It's been awhile since I added any new drawings to the site - that's because I hadn't had any ideas recently and I was busy with other stuff. Anyway after I read The Restaurant at the End of the Universe yesterday, I was totally excited with the idea of such a time/place/whatever, and I decided to do a drawing of it based on the way it's described in the book. Of course, this is only my interpretation, and may not be totally accurate. You can see it right now, at my Drawings Gallery. I started off doing this as a watercolours picture, but it wasn't looking too good. So the final drawing is a pencil one.

The Restaurant, basically is situated on a decayed rock of a planet, some millions of years from now. Here, you will get to see the ultimate spectacle - a "gnab gib" or the end of the Universe itself. Of course, special force fields and time turbines are used so that the Restaurant is always kept near the time of the event.

Oh and some additions to my Doom Levels pages have also been made:

Kak Home sent me a review of Out of Phase 3: One Cloudy Afternoon by email, and I've added the review to the respective page.
I also updated the Congestion Control 2 page with links to the latest Doomworld review, and a link to their forums page with some discussion on the level.
