City progress

Things went a little slow, but windows and stuff became much better with just drawing some in a front view then duplicating them and "skewing"...  Hard part is adding stuff to the bottom of the city, don't really know what to add here :-D

City test paintings

City environment just painted and with added texture. Good grief, the car is horrible :-D
Too pastelly still...  Ungh...  and the windows look bad as well...

 


The second one went better, tho still unfinished. I spent more time setting up the perspective and making sure the forms are alright, so hopefully this will look less cartoonish. Will try to make windows as tiles instead of drawing them one and one.

City Paintover

So, choosing a photo from Hong Kong, I started with the task to do paintovers, to make the same image tell different stories.




The original photo is pretty neutral with a very white sky.
















The post apocalyptic one was probably the most fun to do, since there was no real limit to what I could do with the image. I should have made the trees more dead though.













The sign "Primavera" could use some work to blend in more, or maybe I should have done the text in 3D... I need a better technique to make the people more believable, they still look a bit unrealistic











More people would have been nice :-D















This was one crazy idea that didn't fly at all :-I

I started to exchange so much stuff that the base almost dissapeared, and still it just felt like a more red day than usual. The hovercars in the sky was a last ditch effort to make it seem otherworldly but they don't really look good.

I just didn't know how to fill the empty spaces I created... Oh well.

It was all really fun to do though, next one will be more painting and less photo.
