Rough concept painting, inspired by a Ryan Church DVD tutorial. Pleased.
I used a default photoshop round brush which I flattened. No initial plan to the design so it came about through happy accidents.

Incredible painting! I really like the light, and the mistyness in the background.

JamesLedgerConcepts In reply to greensandsguy [2011-08-01 17:35:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks again Mr Green. You MUST get hold of a Ryan Church DVD - the particular one I used to inspire me here was 'Techniques of Ryan Church 3: Rendering Hi-Tech Architecture'. You'll find it on Amazon. He uses 'Painter' (not photoshop as I do) but the principles and techniques are virtually identical. He really got me going. He explains everything as he does his compositions in real-time. I recommend him 100%.

thanks, this sounds like one more for me to get... i have a doug chiang book here, art of starwars, naturally, and watched recently a tut from leventep... but sounds really worth getting if i can reach your level someday

thanks for the help!

Doug is great, but I don't know if he does DVD's. It won't take long with a Dylan or a Ryan. Also there is James Clyne. Good luck!

I recommend getting a tutorial DVD by Ryan Church. He shows you how to do it. Obviously it still takes practice but not forever. Thanks again by the way!

Is this based off of anything, or just something you made up from your imagination?

JamesLedgerConcepts In reply to DRayGood [2011-07-26 18:27:03 +0000 UTC]

Hi Ray. I always make stuff up as I go along. Though I was inspired by a DVD tutorial by Ryan Church initially. I wanted to do a city but had no idea how it would turn out. As it came together I went with the fact it seemed underground, and reinforced the idea.
