I finally got a Wacom last week, and this is my first pic, mainly just to get used to using the Wacom. Any comments suggestions ?

There's a page on how it was created on my website.

I really like the architecture. I dont have enough experience to give any advice tho :/
This reminded me alittle of comics made by schuiten(Its not similar at all, but your drawing still made me think of them). Anyway, theres some fantastic retro future cities depicted in his work, you should check it out.

I think this looks mad! Especially seeing it's your first picture done with tablet.
Only criticism I have is the building on the left looks like it's leaning a tad. And the other buildings at the bottom look like they are on different angle planes? I'm not sure..

Behemoth, thanks for pointing the links out, just had a quick look and I really like his style.

The composition of his images is really strong, that is the main thing that I don't like about my picture.

Peon, thanks for the comments, I see what you mean about the buildings now you point it out. The strange thing is that the image is drawn over a wireframe render which should have perfect perspective.

This is really nice work. I like the design of the buildings, and I especially like how you managed to have everything so well textured.
