Description
The scenery in Assassin's Creed 2 is tremendous. I parked Ezio in a corner and drew the scene in front of me. I just eyeballed it as I drew so there are plenty of errors. I need a lot more practice.Ink, watercolors and a bit of white gouache.
Practice practice practice.

Oh this is just gorgeous! I absolutely love playing in Venice - sometimes I just like to wander around and see what everywhere looks like at different times of the day. You've definetly captured it wonderfully here.
(and now you've reminded me that I need to get off me arse and finish doing my one of firenze...)

the great thing about Assassin's Creed is how easy it is to get lost in the detail and beauty of the environments...and then trying to climb them

Very, very nice watercolor! He better watch his back, that silhouette of some dude on the roof packing a ninja sword seems to be watching him.

lovely job!
I've done the same, enjoying the scope and details of the game.
Plus, you make a pretty penny for your treasury as you sit down to watch to gondolas pass. Now, if only they could ferry you around the city... (Why are they scared of me? *sadface*)

Goddamn gorgeous. I love the purple/yellow/red pallet. I don't see it often but you got it to work just right. Also excellent composition in my opinion.

Nice !
I've been in Venice, were did this paint comes from ? Is it an original composition or did you paint a real place ?
*I notice a strange shadow on the top of the building 8D*

Sadly, I have never been to Venice so this is not drawn from life or anything. The closest I can get is a certain video game I have that takes place in Venice. This is a scene from the video game.

Simply beautiful, I love it.
The scenery itself is perfect, but Ezio made me go "awwww..."

Rah you are a monster. This is incredible~I wouldn't even know where to begin with such a complex piece of perspective and great color contrast.

Rawr. It's wonderful.
I like how they replaced the beggars with annoying bards.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I feel like the only person in the world who actually really likes the bards. Have you listened to them? Some of their songs are hysterical.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Haha, well I think the designers intended them to be annoying. Not to mention they remind me of someone IRL who is annoying.
I haven't actually played the game but I've watched my friend, so I've never really looked around at stuff.

You need not feel alone, I enjoyed them too.

All I see is the little archer on top of the building! 8D
(So not true, this is just one amazing artwork! I wish I was able to even draw/colour half as good as you can!)

I swear that if you did a more polished version of this, I would buy it. There are a few architectural flaws in this, but the overall effect is achieved: beautiful Venice and the people won't live within it
On a improvement note: Concentrate more on where the light is coming from when doing watercolors. In this painting, it seems as if the light is coming from two different directions. If you concentrate on your lighting, then the shadowing will almost come naturally.

Thanks for the critique.

I think it's beautiful. Watercolors are sometimes difficult to deal with, like every time I try to use them. You did great.

This is absolutely amazing!! You really captured one of the most awesome things about the game - how DETAILED it is. No matter where you are or what you're doing there's always stuff going on in the background. I didn't even notice the prostitutes until after I had been looking at it for a few minutes!
So inspiring!!
