very beautiful. Lovely light. Did you paint in the fog? Love it. How did you do that?

[zoki]

For this one i tried differnt approach
I used probably about 20 reference photos some stock and some from web
Fog though is painted in photoshop
It is still not finished I am trying not to rush it and am doing several at the same time

Hi Zoki,

Could you still show some of the references? I'm actually amazed by this painting, so i'd like to see "Behind the scenes".

Cheers,

Kan

Nice work! Draws me in. I think the fires and windows in the background aren't casting light realistically, but that's my only crit.

Amazing work. I m happy to see this lovely scene. Great concept.So beautyful.

love it. My only crit is that I could not have done it...I should really critisize myself in my own time but wasting your extra talented time is much more satisfying.
