Our last day on Earth might just look like this. Bright yellows and oranges depict a hectic apocalypse scene as the final blast goes off. Detailed elements make the pilot's mask realistic and the butterfly adds a touch of hope to the scene. This piece of art is brilliantly simple, but the message is huge - take care of the environment or Earth will self-destruct.

5. Apocalypse by fathi_dhia

This steampunk illustration suggests humans have lived through the apocalypse, but survive only in a deadly gas-filled world. The nice suit and pipe make us think this guy is pretty rich - did only upper class society make it through? We'll let you decide. The cool color palette gives this design an overall creepy feeling while highlights and shadows give the design more depth.

Survive the drive of your life! Will the world end in a zombie apocalypse?! This zombie tee is perfect for any fans of the walking dead and lovers of all things comic. This highly stylized design gives off a retro feel with cool neon typography that looks straight out of the 80s. There is also a homage to the cult movie "Drive" with that neon pink type.

10. Lost In The Space by carbine
This design reminds of the new movie Gravity that just got released. What if the world self-destructed while you were in space, or the sun exploded? Lost in Space incorporates bright, neon colors that complement the cool colors of the astronaut's suit for a stand out, bold design. The apocalypse has begun!
These DBH artists used styles from neon colors and vectors to detail illustrations and grunge textures to portray the end of the world and these mind-blowing apocalypse designs are real eye openers for our environment. All we know is that the most disastrous endings make room for the best new beginnings. Stay Alive & Thrive!
