Artist's Comments

Full rez 5400 x 6000px | 33hrs | Wacom tablet, photoshop CS

Don't think I'll do images this large again, the saving/loading process + the bursh lage was terrible, ate time, and I dont think I gained much.


I'm not sure if this is the final image, suggestions and critique are welcome. I'm thinking it needs a ship, or somethign else prominant on the right.

Daily Deviation

Given 2006-12-03

I feel kinda small looking at Big City by ~zikrostag, but in a good way. I love how expansive feeling this is while still holding a lot of details throughout. The sun on the horizon is awesome the way it highlights the clouds. (Suggested by `j4m3sb0nd and Featured by `Aeires)

Lovely detail, the clouds looks especially fantastic. You've packed a lot of detail into the cityfront and it shows. Great work!

I hear ya about the image size too, anything over 3000px just seems to be more trouble than it's worth...

excellent job man well worth the hours. Maybe a ship coming out of or going into all those clouds.

nice work! I think you should leave it: the clouds themselves work fine as an element on the right. Putting a ship in is a bit of a cliche...
fine work! great details, so +fav!

Wow, this is wonderful. The sky is nice and so is the composition. You can add the ship if you like - it wouldn't make it either better or worse.

And the city, too, it's gorgeous! So many details, it looks like you'd really been working with it.

First step is to get a tablet, it's impossible with w/o one.

Next step is to learn the pen pressure options. I primarly use the opacity, and manually adjust the brush size.

After that just look at work you respect, pick up pointers, techniques, and use it to create your own vision.

Your right about the ship. I was thinking it needed some action. But there's enough motion in the clouds to make the image.
