Description
The flagship of my gallery for the moment. Inicially it was a simple sketch in black and white, just to prove myself that I could still use perspective and couloring. However, as most things that I do, the excitement overruled me. I started shadowing, coloring, detailing and painting like a madman. There were like 3 days of artistic berserk, a file of over 13 mbs and like 30 layers.AND even after all that, the result still seems strange. maybe its because of the cloud/nebulae coverage. It its made in a more realistic look, while the wrecks are in a more cartoonish style. It just seems bizarre to me...
La pintura lider de mi galeria por el momento. Empezรณ como un ejercicio de perspectiva. Luego quise practicar el color. Luego pense en practicar el uso del aerografo, luego el dibujo de nubes (nuevamente tuve que "reinventar la rueda" en este paso), y siguio y siguio. Fueron como 3 dias de trabajo (a unas 4 hrs por dia), cientos de capas de photoshop y tiempos para guardar medidos en minutos (no han notado que tras mucho tiempo de poner Ctrl + S, terminas teniendolo como un tic nervioso el resto del dia?).
En fin, aun tras todo este frenesy artistico (por asi llamarlo), el resultado no me satisface mucho. Creo que el fondo es demasiado realista y los primeros planos demasiado caricaturizados. Se ve raro para mi...

oh wow o_o thats amazing...
its really abstract, and there are so many ways you can make yourself look at it......multiple appearances...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
yeah, its the good thing about this kind of images, if you turn it on its side or rotate it it becomes something new.
Thanks for the fav by the way

mhmm and then the negative and positive space....those can be altered slightly...or I mean....from point of view....and it sort of looks different ._.
aaah I'm spouting nonsense...x_x

Heh, heh, don't worry, most people around (especially me) speak nonsense all the time.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
common nonsense is excellent....or it is when your not the one wondering if you sound like an idiot...

I think it's the clouds on the top-left thta makes this bizarre. Other than that, everyhting else fits magnificently!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah, they look a little out of context, especially among so many cotton like clouds (I didn't knew how to end the cloud coverage, so making blurry ones sounded like a simple alternative)
Thanks for the comment.

This looks fantastic. The first thing that struck me was the excellent choice in colors and values. I love how the yellow and the cyan tones complement each other, and the contrast is increased by the black sky and lighter clouds. I also really like the more subtle contrast between the soft clouds and the harsh lines of the debris.
The overall composition is great; the variety in shapes and sizes makes it very dynamic, and I love how the debris gets cut off at the edges. The perspective of the linear shapes adds a sense of depth that's completed by the subtle stars in the background. Awesome work!

Wow! 
The colors were chosen at first by mere chance. I always knew the debris should be yellow (I'm fan of some homeworld artwork, and they use lots of yellows), but the sky passed through a strange process: I thought green should be the natural choice, but it appeared like a forest, so I hue'd it all around the color spectrum till I reached this cyan tone. It looked better than the rest, so that's what I choose at the end. Its good to know I made the right choice
The rest of the atributes you mention were kind of instinctive, I said to myself that it was common sense, but maybe it is some kind of artistic sixth sense. Who knows...?
Thank you for your analisis, greately appreciated!

You're welcome.
I wouldn't be surprised if you did have some sort of instinctual understanding of color; it's really not that uncommon for artists to have a feel for what colors work well and what colors don't even without any training.

Uhmm... that may be the case
Thanks for the feedback!

Amazing.I can't belive that You used Photoshop.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well, believe it

I can say the same thing about the pencil

Perspective is one of the hardest things for me to do better, that and muscles 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well, muscules its also a chalenge for me, too many curves and strange forms!
With perspective, practice also makes the master. Remember to start with only one focal point and using only basic geometries (boxes above all). I started with rooms, the outside of buildings, or in this case, random geometries. Then you could try two focal points with more complicated things, and so on (I'm still scared of the 3 focal points, I've never did anyone with those)
As all artist around here say, practice, practice, practice. Also, what they don't say its: Be patient. Still objects tend to take very long to draw, and there is no way of evading that reality (unless you use a 3d program).
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oh I know all about being patient. Even though I am not that good yet it has taken me years to draw things as well as I can now...Something about being unable to make the lines and shapes I see in real life match what is coming out of whatever I'm drawing with

And this goes right on my favourites list! Very nice indeed - I love the shapes and the composition. Something about it draws the eye in, and is just fascinating to look at! (: THanks for sharing this one!

superb creation. that cartoonlike 3d wreck is soooo sweet. and i love the clouds also, they definitely not ruining this. also composition of colors is very nice. though yellow and blue are opposites, but you've blended them together amazingly. yes, i love it a lot.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
thanks. Actually, till now I didn't noticed that I used oposite colors, too strange it doesn't look weird (je, je... this is the moment to say "That's because I'm too good!", but guess I need a bigger ego to say things like that...)

That's fav worthy.

Good stuff man! That's awesome! Love the atmosphereic perspective!

Thanks! Its quite a challenge making clouds and not ending crazy at the end...

i like this, i think you did the the building breaking up just right..

Esta chingon guey yo no se por que no te gusta

Creo que es importante ser excesivamente critico con uno mismo. Ayuda a perfeccionar lo que haces. Lo unico malo de ello es que causa que los demas se preocupen demasiado... Ya ves...

Wow, dude! That's incredible!!! I don't see anything that looks cartoonish, either. You have great perspective!!
