Description
I'm not too sure what to say about this. I drew it for a friend of mine, Elsie. She wanted me to do another computer drawing, becuase I haven't for awhile, so this is what I came up with.I tried a new technique before, on the surface of the castle. I used a 1 pixel brush and just started clicking, comming up with patterns and lines and such.
All painted on Adobe Photoshop 7.0 on PC

Cool , my house never floats like that.
I'm looking for artists who want to have a hand in our latest project, The Envaryan Chronicles. We'd love to have a piece with your style.
Anyway, think about it. The only blog post on our sight has all the details.
Your stuff looks great! Keep it up.

Woooow! David, this is amazing. The reflections are awesome, and they look real. And I love the castle and the island it's floating on... Just wow. It looks very realistic. How big was the brush you were using?

Very nice. I like the light textures for the clouds on the planet. The aura radiating about it is nice too.
The huge castle floating on the rock is great. Looks very pseudo-mechanical. Nice little light glowing at the top of each tower. The door seems oddly out of place for some reason though.
Nice how even the starts can be seen dimly refleted in the mostly still water.
