Description 30min. spitpaint, Photoshop CS6.  There's a ton of quick shortcuts in this piece, a lot of the rock bits started off as brush marks and then smudged down and around, with some of the highlight bits thrown around hehe.  I think I might use this for a card I've been working on, just couldn't quit get a satisfying grasp on it but this piece has given me some ideas.  It's a pretty simple, easy bit of work so we'll see

Been trying to come up with something like this... you pretty much nailed what I had in mind... thanks... just beautiful absolutely amazing minimalism. There is mystery, there is perspective, depth, and so many lovely subtle color changes. Goes to the favorites for sure )

Thank you, kindly ^_^ It's all about the smudge tool lol

really? You can achieve that kind of texture with the smudge tool?

It helps quite a bit but I use it a bit oddly, maybe?  I have this odd scatter brush that throws out an array of rectangles, which when used with the Smudge tool creates some weird patterns.  Once those are down I can go back in with this other brush tip I use to smooth out some order out of the chaos hehe.

There's a fair amount of painting but the smudge tool helps me create effects and arrive at solutions pretty well and quick, which is great when it's a 30min. timed spitpaint

It's nice to have art where you need to give it a zoom and a second look.

I like the atmosphere as well. Everything looks so cold and lonely. I find it very MYSTifying. [I regret nothing]
