It would look a bit better with a little more light, otherwise it's beautiful! Β

It will indeed receive more light along with quite a lot more work overall. Is is after all a work in progress so things will change a bit

More or less. I started with a rough sketch of course and drew the general shapes up, tried different ones and postioned them accordingly. After that I filled the various, large shapes and arranged them with different shades of grey to work that depth in; darker in the foreground and lighter in the background. A slight vignetted, dark tint around the whole canvas can also help with finding the correct mood. Then it's the matter of drawing/painting up the structures of the buildings, rock formations and stuff that's going to be the detail within the larger shapes and I usually do this with black set with a little transparency. I also tend to add a little light as well with white, also set to transparency and work on a specific part ( like the centered pillar with all the buildings and stuff ) until I feel I'm heading in the right direction. I then use that part as a reference for everything else in the artwork, so I'll know what level of detail I should aim for in the other parts. Then it's just a matter of painting everything

Thank you, its very helpful. I really liked that idea about using one piece as a reference for what level of detail im aiming for on the rest, Im defeintlly gonna use that.Β
Because sometimes its really hard to know when something is done.Β

Hey thanks, funny and true.
Alot of times the only way for me to get done is to suprise myself and do something I didnt expect.
