OMG, that tricked my brain into thinking it was an ad (I mean this as a compliment, sorry that's not obvious)

Thank you, I happily accept the compliment! :)

To be fair, you were also tricked into thinking that they’re actual drones in the OG pic. (It’s concept art)

If you have a Twitter where you share your work there’s a ton of animators/blender artists/cartoonists/etc in that general sphere and one will probably do it just for fun!

Seriously, it's not drones.

Drones aren’t real?

Turns out drones are actually organic birds. We've been lied to in both directions

I love telling people that my conspiracy theory is that drones aren’t real, and that they’re just birds

No, drones are just government birds dressed up as drones

It’s also not what Whitby abbey looked like.

Oh damn I had no idea, thanks for pointing that out

Edit: upon looking a little closer it looks like the reconstruction I linked ignores the arches on the walls which makes me skeptical of how accurate it is

Any reason UK isn't/hasn't tried reconstruction of it?

Toxicseagull t1_iup712n wrote

Why would we? You'd ruin it.

slynas t1_iuqat6r wrote

Re-ruin it.

Suppose they could tender the job on checkatrade.com

Toxicseagull t1_iuqv68b wrote

If we wanted to make a statement rebuilding something like this, or create some kind of public works program, places like Rievaulx or lindisfarne would get my vote.

I'd rather Whitbys stayed ruined as it is. Much more on theme I feel.

It would cost far too much to reconstruct all of the abbeys that have fallen into ruin.

It would destroy the cultural and religious significance that the ruined abbeys highlight.

They’re protected properties and councils/government would have a hard time agreeing on the projects to rebuild.

Most of the UK aren’t catholic so rebuilding abbeys would seem like a huge job for a minority group.

But it'd be pretty and potentially a bigger tourist attraction.

Heritage site, construction will be extortionate, popular as is for the area and we've got tones of others to care about.

I live in Whitby and this isn't real. It was a Photoshop, alongside a few other monuments, as a demo. Trust me, there is NO way you could do this with current drone tech at Whitby Abbey, it's impossibly windy up on the cliffs.

smartshoe t1_ium8dat wrote

Thanks for clarifying, I went to Whitby as a tourist years ago and thought the same thing.

Interesting to see what the ruins would have looked like in any case though

Stone_tigris t1_ium948f wrote

I’m afraid this isn’t what the ruins would have looked like. Absolutely made up. Those flying buttresses for a start are codswallop

36

smartshoe t1_iumbi6i wrote

Oh wow yeah, I just looked at a virtual reconstruction,

No flying buttresses, center elevated section didn’t have a pointed roof, it was like a castle turret

The “drone” photoshop definitely took some liberties

xrumrunnrx t1_iunpqd2 wrote

I think I'm just in a mood, but fuck this is aggravating all the way down.

Not drones? Fine, still cool. Oh, not actually how the building looked? Well, maybe we don't know for sure and it's an educated guess. Oh, we have reconstructions to use as a guide and it's not even similar? THEN WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS EVER FOR!?

Man I used to go to Whitby every year to visit my nanna. I went to Scarborough last week and it's made me want to go back to Whitby again. Been over 10 years now. I need to take my son...

3z3ki3l t1_iulsct5 wrote

It is not real, it’s already an edit. If it’s actually drones, it’s one drone that someone flew around and took a bunch of pics of. If it was multiple drones, like a drone show, they would crash in each others’s downdraft. Particularly the ones making up the flying(lol) buttresses.

But in any case, pretty incredible artwork. I would love to know the artist.
