Honestly the foreground, while good, was a bit distracting for me.

But holy moley! The rest is beautiful! Love the placement of the city.

Awesome! Is this all drawn by yourself?

Yup. I was looking at various photos as reference, but there's none in the image (except maybe as custom brushes in the bushes).

How great!
I like the atmosphere a lot, how the mountains fade into the fog... and the contrast... and the detail of the city, which looks quite mysterious.
I'm faving this

good piece, I like the strong edges on your distant mountains, what brush you using for edges like that?
I also like how you have framed the foreground against the view of the valley etc, the leaves to the left in particular really help this.

samburley In reply to PeteAshford [2009-07-20 22:38:46 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Glad you like it. For the edges of the mountains I used the lasso tool and painted over them with big soft brushes later on.

it started off very lovely and relaxing but now i'm starting to get antsy from not keeping busy haha.. i've been drawing and stuff but i miss the hustle and bustle, to be honest :9

and how are you?? what have you been up to lately?

Haha, I know how you feel. RISD has destroyed my ability to enjoy any bit of relaxation without feeling guilty...

So any spare energy has been spent trying to get a demoreel together and building a website, but Dreamweaver is kicking my ass.
