Spanish sailing ships venture down the watery avenues of Times Square, New York and discover The New World.

I wanted to create an alternative moment when Christopher Columbus discovers The New World.

Because of the POV and high resolution I was working with, I couldnt find any appropriate photostock so I had to work from textures found at cgtextures.com to build a plate that I could then paint over using photoshop.

software used:

Photoshop
&
My imagination :)
+
textures from cgtextures.com to help create my plate.

Enjoy

it's a very fascinating idea and well executed, but aren't the ships a bit high on the water ?

Not that I really know anything about sailships but I would instinctively have expected a greater part of their hull to be submersed; as it is it startles me and seems to me to destroy the general composition of the scene

Awesome idea and awesome artwork, dude.

Writing on a novel like that myself.
Only it's neither US nor 'East India' my Columbus discovers...
It's Atlantis; and the locals are none too happy about it;)
