Thank you, hopefully it won't just get put on the shelf and forgotten about though Really, this is my second pure digital painting (the first was technically both photomanipulation and painting) so obviously it's pretty hard to stick at something if you feel it's not going right and you barely know what you're doing lol, which is exactly how I feel about this piece now. However, given that you've called it "kickass" has kind of given me a feeling that it isn't that bad, so thank you again

if you get stuck, why not throw in a pic or two to help push you along? I know its back to photomanip, but I've learnt more about 2d, from 3d software and photomanipulation than I have from just doing 2d straight. Fact.

Thanks for the advice I think that once i've got everything done properly, i'll start adding textures and bits of debris, maybe some blurs and stuff just to make it look a bit more "real". At its present stage it just feels like a mess to me, I don't think the background fits anymore.

That could be a while lol. I've sort of lost interest for the time being, i've got another two short comics to do (each 10 pages long) and they need doing in four weeks time

I don't want to sound like i'm making excuses cos sometimes when I tell Morgan something's wrong with a WIP she has up she just goes "that bit isn't finished" and i'm like "oh... ok. What about that bit?" and it kind of just keeps going til she shows me the finished thing and I think "oh, so you were fixing the things I pointed out and I didn't need to crit at all, oh well" lol.

My point is (i'm rambling I think, and this isn't going anywhere) that I drew the muzzle flash (as it's called) in about two minutes just using some bright colours to make it stand out against the crappy background and to make it look like something was happening in the piece even though it was barely finished. I ammended the bullets and the flash a bit today but i'm planning on putting all sexy flashy bits on when it's all finished.

Thank you for the comment though, and the crit is always good

PS: sorry for rambling, I know what I mean in my head

Ah, you mean as a 'temporary mark'? (Quite alright lol, I'm not exactly what I'd call coherent at explaining things myself -.- )

Haha I know what you mean (I can get particularly fussy when someone points out something I'm already in the process of doing XD), which is why I only put that particular analysis on to the areas where it was more finished Are you doing the background in vector or is it all raster? Looks like it might be cool with a mix of both, the vector (well, flat colour as it is right now but the sharpness) seems to give the building and horizon a crisp look to it. Just a ramble xD;

No probs!

The buildings are all flat colour for now but i'm going to be painting them too, all like rusty looking and stuff.

The reason they're all flat and might look vector is because I went over a screenshot with marquees and filled them for quick reference. As for the horizon, i'm not too happy with it. Maybe once I colour the buildings and runway properly it might look like it fits but right now it just looks crappy lol.

Thanks for the comments btw
