That's very cool. I like the color palette. Is this where he sells his soul to the devil?

Flexible Elf, your style is fantastic...It's quite simple, yet extremely expressive. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm glad you like.
I'm real big on the blues... That movie "Crossroads" is based on the song by Robert Johnson of the same name..
The picture is supposed to be a mixture of The song and how I pictured the land to be in The Dark Tower by Stephen King. Willie Brown, the lone bluesman on the left and The Devil is driving the car.

You know, the more I look at this painting the more I like it. What's going on in the lower right. Those trees have faces? I don't suppose you'd be willing to post a larger version? I'd really like to make this my desktop wallpaper.

Elam: That tangled web of nonsense and eyes over there is supposed to be the outskirts of the underworld and dark souls.. or something to that effect.
The size you see is the size I work in actually.. because it's just a quick thing I don't make it too high resolution : /
but I could start.

| The picture is a nice change from your Knight pictures. I like the earthy tones you've used, they make the sky look dry and the landscape look as though it's been scorched during a hot summer. Keeping the car coloured red is nice as it's the first thing your eye moves towards. Nice work. |

This picture rules! I really like the old western feel it gives. Especially with that classic car!
