good stuff. But I believe you need to define better the depth of field. The background has almost the same intensity as the foreground, but I liked it overall...you can feel the kind of place they are. Crime, lust, drinking, problems been solved with killing hehehehe Keep it up bro!

cheers dude glad you're into it ha, thanks for the suggestion, it's definitely a problem I have getting things with lights to be in the background, you got any pointers? I need to get it all right before going to far

make the neon lights on the back smaller, maybe not so intense as the ones on the front ground. Also unfocus the stars on the back just a liiittle bit, they kinda look like a roof with projection on it. And about going too far... I once heard from an artist ''Some times is better to do 10 one hour painting than a 1 painting that took 10 hours''. Dont get too attached on your first tries as you are leaving that hiatus behind.. =D

Nice updates dude!

I like the mech especially

decided to make it a regular exercise to do environment studies, landscapes etc is are not my strong point so it's about time I sorted it out, I could've used a specific mountain or cloud brush for these ones but the idea for me is to learn to paint them, so I just used one brush and the smudge tool and limited myself to 30 mins each

actually, the 3rd one is just the sandstorm but with a hue and saturation change, while messing around it happened and i thought it made it look like some ice cave or something

enivironment painting after studying a painting seemed to get my mind right for it

Cool stuff in here!

Is there any 3d/photos in the blue and black sci-fi fi one? It looks great! Lots of detail!

jlcseiles 2017-01-26 10:48:21 UTC #24

cheers man, i used a photo of some space launch supports for that intricate stuff along the bottom then painted into it then a photo for the city then painted into it again, that's about it, everything else was worked out. it's only using one point perspective so wasn't too much to think about, took me a while to get those atmosphere/vent pillar things right, i ended up copy and pasting the same panel but resized and grouped to fit the perspective
