Description So this is the second in a series of concept art pieces I hadn't gotten around to putting up on dA yet.

They're all fairly rough and impressionistic like this one because of the timeframe I had to turn them around, which was a good exercise for me in prioritization. As with most of my work (particularly 2D work) I may revisit these when I get some spare time, so I might have a chance to implement critiques I get from you guys. Even if not though, critiques are always useful to learn things for future projects so let me know what you think.

Cheers!

I just found out recently about the tower of babel being the gateway to hell! I had a concept about three towers that stand on top of the earth for my original series, that concept was created before I even knew what the tower of babel was. Weird! Beside that, I love the angle and color of this picture. Shows that this is no ordinary tower, its creepy looking, dark, and freakin' tall! Love this picture though!!!! Good Work!!!!

Umm... If you call this rough work then I'd like to see how supermegaholycraptasticawesome is your detailed work. Seriously, I wish I could draw this good.

Awesome work on the lighting and colours.

ZackF In reply to vql [2009-12-06 18:23:53 +0000 UTC]

Haha! Well, there's always room for improvement. I could fit some little designs or gargoyles in there to better establish the sense of scale, clean up some of the noise from the texture effects, and do something with the structure in the bottom-right, etc. I'm glad you like it though, it was certainly fun to work on.

vql In reply to ZackF [2009-12-06 21:23:06 +0000 UTC]

That's be an awesome idea!

I'll look forward to the actual drawing of this, if you ever make one. ^-^

It's really great. The atmosphere, the perspective, the textures. Really well done, sir.
