Well I am back, and have been working on redoing the night of the covenant as I promised, and have decided to show that I have the cliffs done. All I have to do is paint in the lake and sky and elite and it will be ready.

You've got different techniques clashing in that piece. In the water it looks like you used a filter or a brush that makes that pattern, but everywhere else (except the stars) is sketched. They don't mix nicely. Parts of your image are blurry and hand drawn, others stand out and ruin the good parts. I'm also having a hard time seeing shape. Though you generally did a good job shading, the perspective is confusing and it's hard to tell the difference between one plane and another.
I always have trouble with ice, but I wanted the ice to stand out, as in smooth ice bright ice versus jagged rock. Also I am aware of the distance of planes issue and am working on that, can you be more specific on what parts need to be less sharp or less blurry?
that really depends on your style. I like to keep things detailed, but it takes much longer.
I dunno if you remember this drawing of mine:

You can see I got bored of it and stopped, and i never achieved the detail I wanted consistently through the image. The foreground is nice, but the background was rushed I think. I also didn't spend enough time on laying out the pic, I just started drawing once and this was what I ended up with.
I like it but I am having a hard time figuring out the angle....its too obscure.
stop being such a good photoshop artist, con. you're making me feel inadequate.
e: have you seen this comic before? that's what that picture reminds me of. i can't remember precisely where I found that comic- it's quite possible that you or someone else from modacity first introduced me to it. :P
ee: oh yeah, now I remember, somebody posted a panel of it in the random funny pictures thread.
yeah it was inspired by blast wave, I was reading through a bunch at the time.
XD never seen this blastwave stuff before, looks like something I'd spend hours reading lol...
Also bak to what con said, I usually tend to draw my backgrounds better than I do my foregrounds.. lol
E: I like the styles from this blastwave comic, and I'm, reading the info on it apparently its all just taken widely off of apocalyptic styled games and movies. Some of this stuff would make a cool mod/game. e1.5: sounds like he doesnt like the idea of people expanding on it tho..
