hey guys,
this is a recent environment painting done with photoshop. The qhole picture took me ~12h. The basic conception for this picture was some kind of sci-fi/orinetal culture mix, but I dropt the idea and tried to paint something more mistic and silent. Hope I've reached the point Smile

here's the picture:

comments and critiques very welcome Smile

Top notch awesome work. No crits from me either.

That is really cool, I like it a lot. However, the funky perspective doesnt quite work for me. It isn't really a fish-eye kind of thing, because the building in the middle doesnt curve any. Really, the whole thing seems unbalanced - maybe you were going for that, I dunno.

Wow, this is beautiful. No wonder it took 12 hours. It definitely feels mystic and silent. My only problem is that the buildings are slanting away from each other. It makes me feel like I'm going to fall out of my chair. Those floating paper lanterns are kind of creepy. Do they just hover there or do they move around too? Smile

The detail in this is seriously stunning. It's hard for me to fathom. What resolution did you paint this at?

WOW that is AMAZING!!!!! Very beautiful, there's no way i could ever acheive something as extoardinary as that in a lifetime let alone 12 hours. I especially like the lanterns and water. Lovely lovely.

And I personally like the perspective. *shrugs* But that's me.

crazyfrazee - yup ur right about the perspective. I tried to show it from "shooterish" way Wink

maybe becasue of it , the picture seems to be unbalanced. When I mirror it, the left side falls strangly, I'll remember that another time.

bishop- basic res was 2500

capt.- I can't stop! U must eject me first muhahaha Very Happy

thanks guys for comments!

Whoah! It really seems you're in really good painting mood. I really like this pic. I kinda have love/hate relationship towards the perspecticve you created. hehe Smile

If it would be up to me, I think I would define the water a little bit more under the paper lanterns to keep the photorealistic impression for a longer time.
