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:

Everywhere i´m hearing lately "i bought a cintiq, i bought a cintiq"..... nah god damn you :/
I´m happy with my new intuos3 A5!! Pah....
Reeeeeally sweet pic!
Especially these 'balloons' are a nice idea, haven´t seen this in a sci-fi citiyscape before. Also, the daytime is perfectly chosen here, cool atmosphere. In your pics, i can really get the sense for the giant size of the buildings, they feel 'real'.
Good work!

The whole sky is beautiful, I like the clouds. The buildings are so futuristic, detailed and full with ideas. It is good to watch it closely to find the small things on the picture. I wish you good luck in the contest!

yeah it is, but it's the new model which is a 12' widescreen version, not the 21' version...
