Hey guys, long time no art (from me).

I've been working on this off and on for so long, sometime in 2008. Months of work in Paint from XP, Vista and Windows 7, Paint.NET, Photoshop and Pro Motion.

You can read the extended description on the DA one, I just didn't wanna waste your time.

Yes there's stories and emotions behind it, but what kind of artist would I be if I told you? I hope you guys like it, and loads of thanks to everyone that commented and help me out on the PJ forum (you can see it here, from the very beginning).

And better. Always try to make your next piece better and more interesting than your last! :)


skeddles (Level 11 Psychopath) at 6/29/2009 1:31:14 PM

Hey everyone, thanks for the comments and crits. Don't think I don't appreciate them, I just don't want to work on it anymore. Hopefully I can make my next piece as good.

 Beautiful!

 Nice pixel execution; the emotional content is almost tangible.


greenraven (Level 8 Cannibal) at 6/22/2009 3:18:01 PM

Hey, you finsihed it. Awesome.


Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) at 6/22/2009 2:21:22 AM

 When did you get so good?


exocet (Level 5 Captain) at 6/20/2009 11:35:03 AM

Great picture! My favourite part would be the crumbling buildings in the background and the clouds - great feeling of depth on both of them.


Photocopier (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 6/19/2009 12:50:25 PM

I'd up the contrast on those people, use one of the lighter grays in the image for the details. also I think slightly less saturation on the rocks will stop it from (literally cause it's actually awesomely drawn and all that but I physically mean it not in an insulting way) looking like crap. oh also I'd like the ocassional skull in the mound >:)

but nether the less: absolutely beautifull work! (6/7)


hotnikkelz (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/19/2009 9:50:31 AM

this is beautiful, my only complaint is the grass, FIX iT, and it'll be perfect :)

 I agree with scruffs though i'm on a monitor that may be too dark.


Scruffs (Level 6 Made) at 6/18/2009 5:38:18 PM

i think this is a wonderful piece, and i really admire the detail you put into it. however, i think a lot of the detail you put in gets lost in the general obscurity of the colours. I made a quick palette swap to show you what i mean. I brightened it up to bring out the details, but i think i preserved the atmosphere/mood you intended.

cool piece

If the master would allow me a quick crit:..  :)

The only thing that seems to be a bit out of place, underdeveloped, and expressionless is the patch of grass on top. It's very high contrast so it draws my eye, yet seems so limp and flat. Amazing work otherwise! I love the sketch-like detailing on the cityscape. Those fiddly lines inside the building contrast beautifully with the voluminous, turgid clouds above them. The rocks seem to be covered with a grimy level of soot, fitting perfectly with the idea of a collapsed city.

There is much rhythm present. Love the result of this piece.


jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 6/17/2009 10:27:24 PM

Have to agree with Dex here.


Dex (Level 11 Psychopath) at 6/17/2009 9:31:50 PM

Ah, much awaited my friend. Great work, honestly your best. 7/9 and a fav from me ;D
