I really like the color palette you chose, rich warm tones they almost remind me of watercolors to a point... I just love the opposition of the brick texture on the left with the vegetation on the right, the way they kind of act as a frame that helps direct our eye to the city in the back. Overall a clever composition... I think, though, that you should add a bit more atmospheric perspective (haze) to the buildings far right and give them a bit more blueish tones to help create depth in the far city after the bridge.

A great first attempt.. keep up the good work :thumbsup:

That's a sweet looking piece, my only crit, is that the trees which are close, appear to be more out of focus than the bridge or buildings.

Great work, 4*

Hello there, well you have a nice image there but you have a issue because the horizon line of the picture that you choose as your front ground, is not the same than the horizon lane of the picture that you took the bridge from, wich creat this weird illusion were the Bridge is going down or curvin in to the invinite back (where the Horizon is). I add a picture if you don't mind showing this. I hope it helps. BTW amazing work with the buildings in the background.

i agree about the haze... but i wasn't sure if that would, in dont know, look right. since i kinda wanted the buildings to stand out... with the sun reflecting and stuff. :)

Finally a brick looking future, and not a cement grey one.
Very nice painting!

I really like this one, but there are a couple of things that pokes you in the eye.

.- The sun direction is not the same in the bridge/city and the wall.

.- you made lots of details on the buildings, but the car seems quite unfinished

the car is actually a photo i placed there. i wanted a car that we know from todays streets... nothing futuristic. that's why i havent added any futuristic elements to it. to get the message (that i had in mind) accross...

yeah the pic isnt perfect so thx a lot for your feedback. :) it'll help!
