Description
Light shines upon the forested highlands overlooking an enormous city. Its glow cascading down the higher structures towards the ground, waking each floor in turn as dawn slowly breaks.Painted in Photoshop with a WACOM Tablet

With a WACOM tablet?!
That's called talent, man.
I used to be called talented, but my painterly Photoshop stuff pales in comparison to...to... THIS.
I am just in awe, again.

No debate on whether this is a favorite or not, it is. This is one of my favorites by you, something about it just makes it so good, how everything is in perspective perfectly.

I have no real idea how you can paint such amazing scenes and characters using simply Photoshop. No matter how you do it, I am amazed at your skills! This particular scene kinda reminds me of a place you might see in Star Wars, or possibly Star Trek. I like how you have the beauty of the forest and such juxtaposed with the beautiful-in-a-different-way flowing structures and that fabulous bridge. As usual, amazing, excellent work. You've earned a new idolizer, you know.

May i say "pretty damn good" and leave? no i may not.
I'm gonna say it's pretty damn breathtaking. Once again Gary you've stretched the limits. It's very difficult picking a place to comment on actually, seeing as it's all so very fine tuned, but the architecture stands out most (as your "trademark" [so to speak] i guess it would). Beautifully done, the view of it is similar to another piece of yours that I'm sure will eventually make its way here. A fantastic addition to the depth of the picture. Speaking of which, i'm really getting that vibe off this. From the trees to the mountains (the mountains remind me of a terrain i use incidentally...). And the best thing is that detail remains of a lush quality throughout, from lighting on the tree leaves to the ominous stature of the background landforms. I also think the trees are perhaps better than your previous "eventide", i'm most definitely grasping a better feel for the leaves and branches, the texture of it all is most definitely there.
The city feature is awesome, plain and simple. Lighting on it is nothing short of delicious. Material shading and reflections are top notch, and the design of it fits right in, concentric = . The spires and internal design features are a nice touch, just another show of attention to detail.
Favourite part of it is the sky. This is mostly because with what i work with, skies are done badly, i've wanted to paint my own for so long but that's beyond my skills (at least for the time being i hope). So i generally feel a mixture of envy and awe looking at this. Excellent cloud formations, i believe cirrus near the top, nicely done, all the way to the larger formations to the right and far left. I love the wide variety of tones that reflect and reverb off them, and the way they really show off the lighting to be so magnificent. You also have an interesting way with the sun, it's really got that sunrise look... where it's not so warm as just beautiful, i gather this is the right time of day i'm talking about The atmosphere and subtle mist gets there too, it has an rather calming effect... in fact the general mood of this image is very calm, it doesn't feel futuristic but yet it has such elements. I love that mix of there and now.
In any case, for once i'm criticism-less. You've silenced just another rambler here, silenced him with awe.
I'd love to live there.

Oh HELL yes. I love the epic feel you incorporate into your pieces. The perspective you used to present this architecture is what really makes this scene huge.

Wonderful pic.
Once again. Your images are taking me far far away. You should create artwork for some book or something, if you don't do it already.
Oh gidammit again, now I can't stop staring on this image.... My eyes are glued...

And now you've got my favorite of them all here. So big, so absolutely tremendous. But still in a sort of understanding with the environment.
Very harmonious, but you can tell there's a little more under the surface.
How was this built? What person could envision such a feat in so naturally beautiful a setting?
That conflict between want of nature and awe at the structure is what I see in this.
