Description Painted in Photoshop

"My thanks to [link] for selecting this piece as a DD, and to all those who took the time to view, comment and favorite- your generosity has been overwhelming...

A few technical remarks... The original is 3600x2100px in dimension. It's an amalgam of material (buildings, ships, etc.) drawn from other pieces, hence the title "Ultracity". Although the bulk of my work here on DA is matte painting, which incorporates literal photographic elements and textures, this is "pure paint", augmented by those handy tools available to digital artists: filtration, distortion and cloning..."

Regards,

John

whoa...that's a long piece...do you sketch it first like on a pad to get the idea down then move to tablet, or do you do it just on a tablet?
