Description EDIT: Uploaded a PNG for better quality Xc

Commission for ijp290 on FA of his character Dave inhabiting a rundown hotel overlooking the bay on her world.

I'm immensely proud of this one atm <3 There's a few things I know I need to practice more to get better on but for as many new things that I tried on this picture I'm IMMENSELY happy XD

Any critique is welcome. I'm trying to get better especially at dramatic lighting ^^

Very beautiful and serene.
I think it could have used a bit more depth, but it's tied together nicely.

That's the thing about art: there's ALWAYS something that can be improved. It's an ever-evolving experience. ^-^

I did have an issue with depth on this. Good eye XD

Yeah. I always want to be able to improve. Otherwise art would get boring fast XD

This is just fantastic
Your skills on creating dramatic lighting is already very good. Although of course you can always improve on anything
But really, i really love this pic although I think you should put some "foggy" effect on the ocean, it'll enhance the dramatic lighting effect as well

<33 thank you! Dramatic lighting is like some of my favorite things to do in a picture. That's one of the main reasons why I prefer to draw night scenes because I can play so much more with the light XD

I tried the fog like you mentioned but it washed out a lot of the bg. So I had to take it off x-x

Thank you!

Youre certainly welcome

Yeah I agree, night scenes are better since you can add more dramatic lighting to it, although sometimes you can make awesome lighting effects on a sunset scene as well

Ooh, well in that case its alright if you dont add the fog, it still looks awesome

This drawing came out great! c8 I love the slight glow of the ocean and the very faint light on the surroundings! Just perfect, if you ask me. =^^= Plus, the vines give the drawing the balance it needs. Really great work here. =^^=
