Nice job Phillip! Very Happy

The only thing I'd say is in the distance it gets a touch scribbly(I know that's coming from your portraiture style). The tallest building on the left looks a little unfinished or something. Awesome detail as always, nice colors!

from what I can remember it sure came a long way ! The background helps create the sheer scale of it all.
I notice you backtracked into yellows too Smile

AH, I love city shapes, and you did one really nice Smile

Anyway I think adding a bit more air perspective (going into blue and desaturating, i hope you get what i mean) on the mid-layer (with the two tall buildings where the cable or tunnel or whatever it is hanging there) could help making it even deeper.

that's an awe inspiring cityscape, eyewoo. where do you get the ideas for the buildings and stuff? maybe you should become an architect, man!

Curtis · Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2003 4:16 pm

simply stunning
thats the by far the best cityscape ive seen in ages
definitely keep up that increbile amount of detail man

The details are incredible. I remember this piece having a perspective problem in your previous post. I really dig that dome shape building at the left.
Just a small point the buidlings on the left appears to be slanting. Fix that and I think it'll make a big difference.
I'll pump up the contrast of the building at the bottom left just a little more to jell with the surroundings. When I saw this, my first reaction would be that wire cable if thats what you intended followed by the foreground building. I find its a little too empty at the bottom part of the picture. Maybe add in a few more buidings but again you wouldn't want the whole place to look too cluttered. Just some of my personal opinions.
Ps: I still like your portraits more Smile

In the original picture the buildings were all straight up and down... I changed this version by using the transform tool to move in the top right and left, hence the feeling that the buildings are slanted... but perspective-wise, they work properly, me thinks and I like it better that way.

Here's an interesting part I dug up from early on in the developement of the picture - the perspecive lines for the structure of the dome. All done in Photoshop using the oval, line, pen and transform tools... Once the perspective was worked out, I then drew and painted the dome.

nice work

the thing irritate me that the atmosphere doest go with the lamps which you have painted on buildings.. it would be nicer if that sky was a lot darker or remove shining on lamps

if you aware about that, so dont mind by my comment

3 months... yeah, I know... It really surprised me to see this one pop up again this morning.

I haven't been by much lately, 'cause for the last several weeks, it takes forever for the Sijun forum to load - like I waited a minute or more to get this thread on screen. Anyone else having that problem???

nexusnet... I think you are asking if I used a 3D program to work out the guide lines. The answer is no. They were all worked out in Photoshop.
