Description [update]

I fixed the hard edges on the clouds on the right side. For some reason, I forgot to blend them when I was doing the rest of it.

[edit]

Sorry about the multiple uploads...I kept getting errors and it wasn't appearing in my gallery, then all of a sudden all of my attempts at uploading went through.

Yep....Another one that's a bit different from what I normally do...

This was for a project in Illustration where we were supposed to illustrate a dream that we had. I usually don't remember my dreams very well, but amazingly enough, I managed to remember seeing a landscape/sky/landscape scene like this a recent dream. So here we go...

This is probably the third or fourth time I've painted this one since the project started. I kept getting the clouds too dark before.

I did all of the main painting over the course of an all nighter last night and, after a mid-project critique today, I corrected the colors and lighting to give it a more dramatic feel (it was really washed out before).

You're ahead of me in your graphic design classes.

Yeah, but even though I've been in art school for three years, I've only had one computer-based graphics class.

Ah, I guess that would do it. I've been using Photoshop since I was in highschool.

Yes, well I have been using Photoshop since middle school, and in high school I was the photography editor and managing of the yearbook and literary magazine. But, I've only had my own company for about 4 years.

Well, there were a couple of rough drafts that I did for class, but I had actually started rendering it on my computer before I ever sketched them.

Thanks. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Onyile was right about messing with the curves.

Yeah it made the details stand out a lot more. It doesn't look so hazy anymore.
