Description 30min. spitpaint, Photoshop CS6.  I originally wanted to have a little robot at the bottom sucking up and cleaning all the poisonous air, but then when I thought of a narrative for how the poison go there I thought it'd be interesting to have it be some kind of intentional decimation

I would've done a few more things with this if I had more time or could use photo textures, but pretty happy with how it rolled along.

How do you go about picking a color scheme for pieces in general? Huge admirer of your work

Thank you very much For quicker pieces it's very random sometimes, like I might go in thinking "oh this will definitely be red/blue" but then as I fiddle with colors quickly (30min. timers and all that) I'll sometimes just go with whatever pops up/looks cool. This piece was one of the ones where I had a strong feeling of where I wanted it to end up at and how to get there, so the scheme was pretty straight forward, but pieces like Lone Survivor went through a range of hue/saturation adjustments at the last minute to get that feel.

Soldier: ... so that's when we got into our fighters and easily shot those big blimps down. Seriously, they were no match. So, how did your city fall?
Survivor: Uh...

Thanks ^_____^ I needed a quick and dirty solution so I grabbed one of the fun wide-flat brushes and just did downstrokes... duplicated the section, moved it over/flipped it, erased/smudged off sections to differentiate it hehe
