Visualization challenge

Today, @kalemandra has set us a Visualization challenge, to transform the station at Kálvin tér, Budapest. Now truth be told I'm a big fan of concrete structures, so I already find this station rather beautiful, but as @kalemandra wanted a bit more colour I decided to give these images a splash of colour using a graphics editor and one of my recent images 'Bathed in Angles of Light'.

Adding my splash of colour

For this transformation mock up I created a series of layers in a graphics editor then used sections of my oil pastel drawing as the background colour on the concrete structures, I then applied various brush stroke styles over the top. The theme of my design was circles, to pick out the circular light fittings, pipes and clock I could see in the pictures.

I hope enjoyed this splash of colour! To join in with the challenge too go to @kalemandra's post Visualization challenge - Let's color the ugliest underground station in Budapest (Kálvin tér, Metro line 4).

I wish you a wonderful evening

Thank you, @kalemandra has given us a fun new challenge this week.

Omg, i was there last week, well now i have to go to hungary again to check this!!! Nicely done!!!

I was there a few years ago - nice city, must go back some day!

Not just nice, Budapest is amazing, one of the most beatiful cities in europe...

Well, i am so stupid, so this is fake, you did the visualization on photoshop or something like that??? It's so nice that it looks so real!

Yes- i just edited to make that clearer. It probably looks real because i put the shadows back in.

it would look good the colorful sub-terra firma that good idea you have.

Omg it looks amazing, think you nailed it, the transformation it's just beautiful!

Oh at first I thought I was looking at some sord of toy. But then realized what it actually is. Great work.

I just posted my introduction post if you'd like to check it out

Nice place !!

Very nice work,i like this colors👍

Thank you, glad to add a splash of colour to your screen. ;D

👍can you look my posts please.

You met with the challenge because you really gave it life, I will also encourage you to participate

Beautiful colors and very beautiful places I love to see so good art in a post is gratifying thanks for sharing friend that you have successful greetings

Love your use of colour to create contrast between the circles and the background. I especially like the one with the escalators. Gives off some psychedelic spacey vibes!

¡Excelente trabajo! Es un diseño muy bien logrado. Saludos

very artistic transformation ! What a beautiful colors !

Great Idea and love the art proposal as well.
You should approach the station manager or admin for this.
May be they might go ahead with the idea and commission as well..

Thanks for that- glad you like it!
I rather like the station how it is though, i like the concrete forms- this is a little bit of colour for @kalemandra's post Visualization challenge - Let's color the ugliest underground station in Budapest (Kálvin tér, Metro line 4).

@opheliafu I understand what you mean.
I am myself a big fan of raw concrete structures. I hope I build one some day. :)
How about I design your future house in concrete :P Lol
haha..na na..you need to come to India. Plenty of ugly stations waiting for your color splashes ..;)

Ooh this is beautifully enlighting the place miss O ! =))

I agree that this is a tough assignment, because I, too, find it a rather compelling architectural design as is! I still am struggling to find the right crew for the job. How did you get all that scaffolding up and down so fast!?!
Great going!

Haha, yes- the wonders of a bit of photoshop wizardry!
Are you going to give @kalemandra's challenge a go?

Trouble is, you and I were on the same line! (Only yours uses stronger colours, which is better with the limited lighting we get there. It's not the place for fresco frailty!) So, I've had to scrap that idea and see what tonight's dreams bring. (I fear I might end up lost on the wrong platform - my Hungarian isn't that fluent - at all!).
