Description

Who’s to say there are not worlds out there where advanced races visit each other in peace? With this in mind I have painted a craft-height view of one of these worlds, showing the large docking towers reaching into the Stratosphere. These structures surrounded by the immense civilisation of this distant world.

This image will be part of my update to VA in the next week or so.

Original size - 5k wide
~20 hours or so.
Painted in Photoshop with a Wacom Intous 2 Tablet.

Larger version below, crikey it's been a long time since I've had time to paint a VA piece. :)

once a year...once a year!

to be honest though, the lighting in this seems a bit fake and moreso than your other works. the red hue going alllll the way towards the overhanging structure in the foreground just doesnt seem real. the light color on the streets, doesnt seem real.

it's been the same stuff for years now, when will you expand and finetune everything?? perhaps developing an entire planet's grid would be awesome and a nice branch to explore. doing a whole series on one planet that would cover the entire surface as well as, atmosphere and underground coordinated. something like that....

Thanks for the comments everybody. :)

Starqueen:

I do this stuff becuase I love to paint it. I do so many other types of art in my day job that I want a way to express myself in a way that totally pleases me in my free time. :)

Awesome work as usual. (thumbup) A little too much gray to the left maybe, but the clouds are beautifully painted and the perspective / angle is really good.
Well done. Keep posting!

Beautiful world! It seems like there's a mist throughout the city, so the very indistinct buildings toward the background make a lot of sense to me.

At last, Antifans back to kick some ass! haha!

Really like this piece, the city is amazing, the amount of detail you put into it in 20 hours astounds me. Just out of curiosity, how much do you charge for a piece like this...as i have begun making a computer game of my own with a small team. I think having a painting by yourself would be perfect for a loading screen or something. Messege me if you have the time, thanks buddy.

very vivid. love the colours it really enhances and gives the image a very futuristic feel. great image, a really grand and vast city enviroment. it makes me think that eventually our world could look like that and it would be cool.

simply astonishing - have you got some tutorials online? I've got the feeling that one could learn a lot from you ... the use of color and your techniques are just brilliant ...

do I have to say anything? (If you haven't noticed by now, I've gone through almost all of your work on this site. just that stormbringer one to go!) Amazing work. I have about 5, and you're one of my favourite artists.

Concept:

Very strong

Technical Skill:

Strong

Impact/impression:

Very strong
Pros:
Terrific lighting now the sun seems to light up the right hand side of the image. Great detail with futureistic structures and their lights!
Cons:
I wish the building structures in the background are not so blurred out and blended into the sunset/sunrise.
Overall opinion/feedback:
I love it~ love the feel and how futuristic it is! Great work - keep it up!

Concept:

Average

Technical Skill:

Very strong

Impact/impression:

Strong
Pros:
Amazing atmosphere
Very cool colours
Sweeping scope and impression of scale
Impressive technique, as always
Great clouds!
Cons:
Not sure about the "arch" at the top - is the viewer meant to be inside a building or something, or is this just a nearby structure. That's unclear to me.

The blue lights are perhaps too "bitty" - brighter areas rather than individual lights might help bring the foreground together
Overall opinion/feedback:
I always feel a little uncomfortable crit'ing the work of artists better than myself. Excellent as usual, just a couple of minor things I'm not keen on +9/10
