I see that you may have been influence by the Futurism movement of the early 20th century. If not, you should check it out. This drawing fits perfectly into it.
What I love right off the bat is that it's so well done, I have very little to talk about as far as criticizing your technique. All I want to talk about is the theme. I see the eye as a divine figure overlooking this moment that seems to be the instant after disaster has begun, with this planet seemingly bouncing off the surface of the city. The city is just a cluster of nearly identical buildings squeezed together in a landscape that is otherwise desert. This is the picture of our future.
As far as technique goes, I must comment on your use of linear and atmospheric perspective. It works very well. The space is huge. Your use of contrast works, for the most part. You need a relatively high contrast to make the cubism thing work, but I would have liked to see a little bit less shadow on the far left and right on the bottom half. Used on the top half, it works as a "deep space" kind of darkness, but it makes the space a little confusing around the city if the distance is so much darker than the city. I hope that makes sense.
Anyway, this is a phenomenal piece. I hope the rest of the art community appreciates it as much as I do.
(PS- If you like my style of critique, I hope you'll consider joining my new group, #Critiquely, and submit your stuff!)
