[Hyptosis]

Wow, that is a gorgeous piece of work. Have no advice or anything, just wanted to let you know that I love it.

looking really good joe...i like your choice for the pallette...cant wait to see the whole thing finished...are you working this into any other project or just using it as a way of learning the markers?

[Indavisual]

Looks excellent Joe! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Hope you got to relax this summer. :)

Hey Joe, I dig it.

But, strangely, I really dig the scan.

The scan brings out the darks more, or darkens them more, you know what I mean.

In person, maybe just because of the light where you showed it to me, they weren't all that dark.

But then again, I am an diabolical, maniacle evil future world ruler.

Doom Out.

Heather- I don't really have any other plans for the project, other than finishing it. I've been trying to get better with the markers for awhile now and I'll eventually make more drawings in this style. It's pretty rewarding to work with.

Andy- Yeah, the original does kind of look more faded. It feels a little more saturated when viewed onscreen.
Thanks guys! Wish me luck on finishing this!

Marvellous. If I ever start making Old School Adventure game, I'll definitely seek you out. That'd make a perfect background.

Keep the outlines clear and colours light and that going to be a masterpiece. No, it already is.:applause:

Thanks!

Here's a small update... an hour and a few rooftops later! I finally got to the dome...

Mods: thanks for combining my img tag gliches, I appreciate it.

I went out and bought myself some more colors (I was keeping a running tabs of "colors i wished i owned" as I worked on this). So I'll be adding "Cloud Blue", "Brittany Blue" and "cream" into the mix.

Thanks for the warm comments guys, I'll get another update tonight!

[blankslatejoe]

OK guys, sorry for the long delay, but it's finally finished. It's really late, and I'm really tired, but I think it turned out pretty decent.

Comments, crits welcome, tommorrow I'll post this up in the finished section.
Thanks!

it looks really good :thumbsup:....only crit i can think of is that the wall in the shadow on the...well, im guessing its a church...looks a bit flat...the only reason i pick it out is since you put in the detail in the rest of that closeup building, but the window looks like it could use slightly different shading...the rest of the walls/windows in the background dont bother me since they are the background...but thats just imo

out of curiosity...what kind of paper did you use for it? and what size is it?

[Indavisual]

Good work Joe, I love it. :thumbsup:
No crits here.

[blankslatejoe]

jeremy, thanks dude!

heather, well, it's actually ...ah.... how to say... in my sketchbook... so.. standard strathmore paper. 8 inches by 10 inches.
I was working... very tiny. Next time I'll switch to illustration board before it becomes such a big project.

I'm happy with how it turned out, but if I get the time, I'll look into re-addressing that shadow. THanks!

Oh, since I was using a limited color pallete, here's a color list if anyone cares to know:

Warm Gray 20%
Cold Gray 10, 30, 50, 70, 90%
French Gray 10, 30, 50, 70%
Salmon
Brittany Blue
Cloud Blue
Cream
