JaiaLeia Crystal City Challenge #1

This was a tough challenge for a few reasons, but I like that it has forced me to become more comfortable with Painter and Photoshop and, well, color in general. After working mostly with B&W and running away from any perspective project, this was pretty fun.

 This is where I am so far with the project. This isn't by any means complete, but that was part of the challenge ^^.

    so far, its looking good! it looks like youve gotten things to a point where all you have to do is bring in some detail (but, like you said, youre not done yet). my only qualm is that, your foreground, mid ground and, backgrounds could be a bit more distinguished. you could make the foreground structure's colors heavily saturated and the background structures, a tint of that to make use of 'atmospheric perspective' with the colors so as to really give a sense of depth (if you werent already planning to do that). i cant wait til youre done with details; i can see youre trying to work in some reflections too so, if you can pull that off, it'll be awesome!

    Oh, definitely! I haven't even touched those buildings yet. But I think I would like to finish this even if I couldn't do so for this challenge. I also would like to work more on this type of art ;) and thanks for the crits!

    Your perspective is on POINT! A+ for that. I know you didn't get to finish, but even with the overlaying of the photo textures it makes it much more dynamic, Kudos on that. You need to work on your atmospheric lighting a bit, it's eaiser to do when you do a value comp first. Nobody likes practicing perspective because "BOOOOOO", but it makes environments a little easier if you break it down into forground, middle ground, background.It's all pretty boring shit but once you get to the rendering part it makes things go faster and it makes life easier. It looks like you got a little lost just trying to fill in the shapes, but that's okay too. It gives it more of a huddled and overpopulated feel. Just keep that in mind next time. Good job!
