Description
This is my submission for the ArtSpace contest over at CGSociety!It was especially created for the contest although I could have submitted some older work of mine as well.
This was clearly one of the more time-consuming artworks that I did. Put in countless hours (I really don’t know how many) working on and off over several days until I was happy.
It’s all done in Photoshop, no modelling.
I did myself a luxurious favor and bought the Cintiq 12WX!
This was one of my first works using the tablet. It’s a pretty fancy device, but mostly unnnecessary luxury if you ask me...
I love using the ruler on it, painting the buildings like that was fun! And it finally comes close to how I work on paper when creating techy stuff!
Other than that, I really purchased it for doing more hand-drawn animation. It’s easier and more accurate to work on the screen like you would using a peg bar.
For speedpainting though, I prefer using it as a normal tablet, because your hand gets in the way and you lose the overview of your work.
Lastly, here are some close up shots at 75 % of this painting:

Wow, that's awesome! I can't believe I never thought of using a ruler with my tablet--that's brilliant!

I'm totally speechless. This is breathtaking, man. You've really let your imagination run wild here with this futuristic vision of a city, and the attention to detail is just amazing. Best of all though, IMO, are the colours, the dark grey of the city and the sunset-toned sky contrast brilliantly.
Absolutely fantastic work, and best of luck in the contest.

It's incredible!
Now I have to go see the rest of your work!
One quest: are those ovoids supported by those wires, or are they anti-gravity and thus tethered to the ground?
