Description
A little followup to Assault on Mankind.This time, you've got paramilitary forces deployed to devastated urban centers to locate any survivors and eliminate all hostiles (as pictured in the previous piece) along the way.
CS4, Intuos 3, ~16 hours?
Disclaimer: none of the military equipment in there is what you think it is, no matter how similar you think it is to
Small WIP over here: [link]
(the idea of adding background structural elements didn't kick in until I had done a significant portion of the character design, so there goes any chance of redeeming workflow)

nice work man, you can see my work with intuos3 as well, I just submitted it. Good luck! Your submission is the first one I really find to be complex and good looking! GOOD JOB.

Thanks. One thing I might ask, for the foreground silhouette of the crane, did you use a custom or stock brush? I still need to figure out architectural elements.
Thanks again.

I'm not quite fond of using brushes, one because you have to credit the creators, which is ok, since it is in fact their work you're abusing, but somehow takes all the fun out of a creation, and two because they tend to be a bit limited... I mean I just don't know how to use them properly without having them look flat or just ugly, even if the brush is godly.
The front objects are made flat on purpose, since they are totally in the shade, and they've been made out of about 30 pictures I took, added some pen-tool work, a few brush strokes and rigid edge erasing and that pretty much solved the simplest part of my image. The foreground took about 2.5 hours to complete... the mountains are 3D renders, so they took like... 10-15 minutes, and the sky+rest took about 5 hours.
A bit much for the crappy result but I haven't done anything this close to completion with my tablet up to this date, so I could say I'm fairly proud.

Still a pretty good start. I really haven't expanded my familiarity beyond default brush sets, a couple sampled textures, and the basic jitters. Else I figure I might be able to speed up my workflow, though I don't really work on art on a regular basis.
