Description
3hours speed art. I really dig the concept of a night city watching chaos... so yeah, first time try with this idea which i hope to go into in more depth in the future
Unfortunately, i didn't work at sufficient size for a good print, so there won't be any this time, and wallpapers will come, but at 1280*960 and lower only (for quality's sake).
Hope you enjoy
full view is good

3 hour speed art? Damn your plentiful talent!
Now I'm jealous

Really nice work. It has the perfect balance between real-world imagery and digital imaging, to give it a far more "real" sense of realism, if you get what I mean.

and again something really now. I like the idea of using a city in front of all. did you take the shot yourself?
to me everything looks fine except maybe the spot where the lightning hits the planet, you could work on that I think, brush it more detailed. and maybe try not to use this perfect white in the spot where the lightning leaves the clouds/nebula.

I realizedf the clouds aren't real clouds, just a shape-outline thing and there are lightning bolts in there.
COOL

Really impressive. I like this version a bit better than the others but it's really cool for just 3 hours! That's a new favorite for myself

good job on this one alyn. Very good composition. The only thing i see is that the city is perhaps a little overcontrast, maybe from an overexpose in the shot. But thats just nitpicking lol, cause the pic is soo stunning in its entirety

Yeah, the lightning does take away from the coolness of this picture. It would be nice if they didn't look like just white lines either.
But, I know it probably involved some form of effort so I wont comment too badly on them
I'm done.

First of all I just have to say, good luck to another great piece.
I like the idea with using the cityscape, any idea where you got it from? Glad that the image itself is big, which means that it's loaded of details. Which this is.
The high contrast between the blue-white and the black in the cityscape is just a fantastic solution. Better than just a simple... boring view of some old city.
Then, the big planet appears and adds just another perfection to the picture, grace and power. The lightning that comes up from the clouds hits the planet perfect and the area that has been lit up is nice. Someway a combination between Africa and Antarctica. That bolt, who strucks the biggest planet is tremendously detailed and believable.
The other one that hits the skyscrape is just as perfect as the other one; you could always think that the skyscrapes were a headquarter, a lightning conductor.
That big nebula is simply beautiful, can be a strange thundercloud maybe? Darkens the whole image. Oh, and if I forgot, great texturizing at those planets.
Almost makes me wonders, what lurks inside of it, behind it. Then the starfield which once again is perfect, no faults with that.
Too bad that my english sucks; if not I could've filled a page with constructive criticism.
Nicely done man.
Nonsense.

well, it being bigger and inside a frame definately gives it a better feeling of composition. however, with there being more space in the aky above the city, it makes the planet look like its being opasted behind the towers even more. the brushing tho definately looks a lot better as there is more of it and its more feathery. the brushing i like the best, and the planet texture, awesome.

A really pretty skyline scene fucked up by your planets.
No, I really like this, I think the lighting and the whites in some parts are too harsh.
But awsome nevertheless.

very very nice. just that there's lil blue dots in the lightning, but tht came in bc u were trying to improve the image i guess.

I think you have toned down the levels of the cityscape too much. It has created a few jaggies near the top of the buildings. The nebula used as a cloud pattern is a nice idea, but as others have noted, the lightning streaks between the nebula and cityscape looks unrealistic.
An interesting idea. It would've been much better if you spent some more time on it. ^_^

Awesome idea, i really wish my brain was engaged lately. I've got upcoming collabs and need to add inspiration to my gallery and yet nothing.
The lighting needs work. The left one doesn't need that faint blue noise in it, also the right one has solid blue crusty outsides, the end of the bolt is very brushed and doesn't fit.
I'm very interested in knowing where you got this picture. It could prove useful for a piece i'm working on with dkf right now.
