Outstanding work man! the dirty texturing on the buildings looks great.

Yeah, good stuf, K.
You may wanna work the smoke out a little more. The black color is unrealistic especially against the sky.

[kbarts]

Thanks.
I'll work on the smoke. And I want to create a night version with burning city.

[kbarts]

I feel it is done, but appreciate any suggestion.

A new update:

Very cool piece of work man.. I would love to see some more atmospheric effects here like some more haze and fog.

I think the foreground contrast is too dark..

Some buildings are looking weird.. like the big one in near left...

But as always the colors and the atmosphere is awesome...

[kbarts]

Thanks!

thirteen: about 30% is painted.

Rahakasvi: I feel too much black too. I'll update those.

nick: i am gald you like it.

I think it is finished. I added a bit more depth and moved the right smoke a bit left.

Here is a little making of.

I created a grayscale picture with costume brushes (step 2nd) and I put it over the city layer. Set the opacity 45% and overlay mode (step 3rd). After that I painted over some parts (step 4th).

thanks for that making of post. that's a great way to make the city look old and dirty. good tip.

You have to add a small blur on the whole picture, and maybe push the shadows more to green or blue a little bit

[kbarts]

Thank you!

Just a quick color test:

Go ahead or stay at the original concept?
