Description I had this in storage for a while, and although there are some bits I'd improve now if I painted it again, I do think it's pretty nice. So I took it out of storage and updated.

I'm thinking of doing some changes/edits/repaints and re-uploading... critique?

Photoshop CS3, tablet, many days
Inspired by the works of Makoto Shinkai

It's painted very nice with a nice perspective.

Now regarding the pink color scheme, I don't think it's bad, but usually color schemes are chosen based on atmospheric conditions and time of day so this scheme kinda contradicts itself - the bottom looks like sunset with a lot of dust in the air because of the heavy pink overtone, and the sky looks like very clear midday. The clouds are a transition between.
People can feel a bit confused when they look at this, because they instinctively know how to tell these kind of things - they know when landscape looks like clear early morning, and when it's foggy rainy evening.. so it's hard to fool them

PurpleCupcakes In reply to ??? [2012-02-20 10:50:48 +0000 UTC]

Love, love the bright colors here. All the purple, pinks, golds and blues are beautiful and go well together. I like the detail you put into the small rocks around the the train tracks and the weeds/grass in the foreground.

The only thing I'm not very fond of is the sky. Because while I like the placement of the clouds, you just don't see that many artists placing them very low, even though it does happen in real life; it leaves the top part of your sky very empty. It does nothing for the piece really. I would even go so far to say that if you cropped off the top, from about the tiny straight line cloud up, it would even improve the piece.

But other then that, its a very lovely landscape.

Thank you! I added the clouds as they are as I imagined this place to be somewhere very high up on a hill, which is why you cannot see far off into the distance and the buildings to the right are lower than the main foreground area. As for the negative space at the top, that was mainly to make it wallpaper sized since the original drawing was much wider and not as tall, so i had to crop and ammend for wallpaper If I were submitting as just a regular landscape, however, I would have done exactly that! Thanks again!

Ah, that explains the empty sky. And I guess it would work great place to put your desktop shortcuts so they don't block the view.

Well, you're better at it than I am. And I'm still finding new shapes in those things... I can see a bunny, and a whale, and a buffalo, and a turtle, and a santa hat...

Haha, really? I didn't plan any shapes in the clouds but I'm glad you're finding some! I can usually see a dragon's head/face somewhere round the middle.
