Description
There are many scenarios currently circulating regarding the year 2012 (4 years from now). One is the end of the Mayan Calendar as far as time, others are NEOs coming too close to our planet and the possibility of a comet striking Earth.
Well, I chose the comet scenario for this render. It is making a direct impact into the ocean, raising a tremendous volume of water and setting fires dancing upon the water. Guess we can surmise the rest of this scenario in our imaginations. Total destruction in every venue.
Enjoy and thanks for viewing and commenting.

great, impresive render
Wonderful rendering!!!

.:great colours - great work:.
I like this one...AWESOME HEAT WAVE ;-) GO HABS GO
intense and fabulous !
Excellent render and colors, nice work...
Impressive, but scary scenario, Keith. Excellent replication of the doomsday idea. Agree with it, but hope I'm not around to see it.
Impressive and frightening scenario! The whole Mayan prophecy concerning 2012 is an intriguing subject to begin with and your render does justice to it! Fantastic, vivid work, brilliantly done. Hopefully this more grim interpretation of Mayan prophecy comes to pass in the way Y2K did...with a lot of hoopla and not even a flickering lightbulb to show for it.
This is an awesome image!!! The effects are fantastic. I prefer to think that in 2012 we will be passing into a new era of peace and contentment. If not...Well.. there is one consolation.. we will all go together LOL
Talk about |-|e|| fire...tedious manipulation of your element Bryce...Great handy work!
Whoa! This is really stunning. Excellent job and very scary too. Bravo!
Amazing creation! I'm with the comments above-a little scary!
Very Turneresque, Keith!
Tremendous work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great impressionistic render Keith...guess we'd better get moving on our renders if we only have 4 years left!!
Impressionante, os efeitos são soberbos, uma coloração suprema, aplausos (5)
beautifully done, inspires much paranoia, the wall of uprising water -- well, i hope we never have proof that that's what it looks like. fascinating how the age of the earth gets pushed back every couple years...how many civilizations have come and gone in this cosmic game of billiards...? brilliant idea and execution
Hot image Keith, a scary thought about 2012. I like the textures in the sky, almost as if it's disintegrating. Great work. Tony :-)
great colouring and effects...well done!!
so much energy and destruction. excellent creation
Totally awesome creation of this comet striking the ocean!!! also I got myself a new flat screen monitor today, so now i can fully appreciate eveyones uploads a lot more crisp and colorful!!! http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&sku=320-5629 Great one bud!
Awesome doomsday image Keith, hope they got the date wrong, I was planning on a vacation to Iceland in 2012 lol! Now I wonder if I could get a refund on the flight ticket! Excellent work!
I've been contemplating that date lately. I hope it's just something like all of our computers crash that day instead. In any case, this captures the 2012 scenario well, and it's a lovely work of art.
Marvelous work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and scary to think about:: hugs ))
Wow, I'm speechless, this is beyond awesome and scary as hell!!
Fantastic render and colors.
Wonderful colors and effects. Beautiful work.
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!
