Description
James is pondering the question ...
.....................
You'll find these two chairs in the Free Stuff (I've altered the fabric on the smaller one) and Chomper's ruler - it's an 18"one in the Free Stuff (his version is just 12" and about right for scale).
....................
Maybe sometime in the future there will be so many people in the world that couples will not be allowed children except in extreme circumstances - and have to make do with androids ...
How many people in the world at the moment?
Seven thousand million. Current growth rate about 1.3%, or doubling in about 53 years ...
But then, who knows what may happen, maybe a new Black Death, or something equally enchanting, will bring our numbers down.
Not sure just where I'll be in 53 years from now, but I don't expect it to be above ground!

It sounds odd, but people would fall in love with their androids just the way they do pets, hehehe. Great theme and composition. Excellent work.
Wonderful image and work.
A real question, and a very beautiful image!
i am sure we will meet over there and have a laugh about the fantastic ride earth life was.(this time)
Excellent and very imaginative scene my friend, is very creative.....!!!
fabulous scene and concept
Really cute, and no, they would be worse.
Fantastic scene!!!
Funny scene, well done !
Superb scene great characters 1!
Yes, the overpopulation makes me afraid. Mainly because everyone wants to drive a car .. Soon there will be nothing left to eat and air we will soon no longer have ... Very well done!
Grande cena e realização meu amigo, aplausos (5)
a speech very réalikste my friend ... very funny and a composition that is reminiscent of a film with a "child" robot!
They are all trouble. You just try to survive them.
Great image, 54 years from now I am sure I wont be here lol.. reminds me of the movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence that I saw years ago..
nice job on this image, cool setup.
Marvelous poses here, excellent si fi as usual! Congratulations!
Coole Szene.
excellent
This image gives us some serious things to ponder.
I'd say no until I learned they could catch the flu! No doubt they leak oil too!
Wonderful scene!
Very interesting and you already know the answer to this purely (I hope) rhetorical question. };-) Excellent "family" portrait.
Impressive
Another wonderful scene, as always superb work.
No! To the first question! Else, the future is very hard to predict! Excellent render and scene, Shaun! :o)
That purple and yellow chair doesn't. It stands out too much!!! Otherwise it is a great image.
Very thought provoking. I think with the way things are headed there will be trouble indeed. I hope not another plague, but some common sense needs to happen. We have the technology to use renewable energy, but so many in control will not let it happen. We will need to adapt.
