Wow, the water is amazing.
But what means "Acis Island"? It reminds me of the word "acid".

How would an image looks like, if you would draw it only for you? What topic would you choose?

Thanks - Acis is the name of the island, and the image I painted is of the head quarters.

Oh, that's easy - more images of giant cities, really really giant cities. I love city-scapes the most.

Ah, okay.
Do you mean city-scapes of today or in the future?
I really like this fictions, where the skyscrapers are half destroyed.

Definitely the future - however, a lot of buildings today are looking very futuristic, especially in places like Dubai.

Yes thats right.
What would you change for your pictures, if you would draw one, which is even more in the future?

I think I would draw really high tech transportation, as I am reminded of heavy car congestion every day. No roads in the distant distant future! Everyone will fly instead.

Coool.
That reminds me of "The fifth element", where the taxi driver fly with his taxi through the "streets". I guess, it seams to be really chaotic. ^^
