Description ABOUT THE CONTEST - I loved working on this project ! I put a lot of effort and hours in my participation. The theme was challenging. Even though I prefer the greyscale version of this painting I'm really proud and I tried/learned a lot of stuff by doing it :3 Thank you dA for organising this event !!


(sorry for my english btw ;___; it's 1 am and my brain has difficulty working)


Unnecessary Rambling - It's a first time for a lot of things: digital landscape, futurist theme, reaaaallyyy textured brushes (waouu) and working in greyscale. The hell. So much new stuff. Honestly I started this project with the idea that I should try even though I was going to fail miserably... The funny thing is if you look up the name of the files I saved through the painting it goes like this: "not bad not bad u know" "im charmed" "bad ass shit don't u think". Actually I'm quite proud of the result ! Especially the satured version (I think I will also post this version) !! I'm not really happy with the colors because I couldn't really understand how to color greyscale in photoshop. It's quite hard u know to manage the colors that way ? So as you can see, I ended up putting beautiful spots of colors everywheeeeree. I like it (what do u think?) but it's far from the reality and what I had in mind (and sadly I didn't have time to look up plenty of tutorials). (The name of the photoshop file of the colored version is " attaque couleurs (wtf Im doing)") (yep, really). Also, I used the pack of jonasdero and I'm in love. The sad thing is I'm currently working on the prize for the winner for 200 watchers and it's all lovely and smoooooth. But now, I really want to trash it with textures. I don't know if I will be able to resist the temptation (you'll see in the next days).

Ah, also, fun fact. I'm so lacking sleep right now (my rambling testifies). I didn't sleep more than 1 hour last night (I did a nuit blanche on this project, yep this one, this very one). And I worked at my part time job on friday, saturday and sunday (7 hours or more each day). It's currently 1am where I am... and I'm seriously questionning my life decisions. Oh, other fun fact, I actually saved some files (of this project - different versions) on this matter... so I have "waou (22.59 tho)" "just 1am" and "discipline 0 inefficacité 1" which means "discipline 0 inefficiency 1" (I think you had figured out before I translated it but anyways). 

Also, tip: don't look at other entries while you're doing yours (I give up on a contest in the past bc of that and, aftermath, I was frustrated that I let myself be influenced like that). 

What can I say more... ah, I think I twisted my finger... It happened today and I'm still in deny bc it's my drawing hand. I hope it won't hurt tomorrow... please... 
... I finished my entry with my finger in pain... please, finger, be obedient and be healthy... listen to senpai 

So hey I should stop talking (sorry for all the stuff abt my life) and go to bed. What a good idea. 

P.S.: I will take time to respond to your comments, mentions,notes and my new watchers tomorrow. Thank you for all your support <3 I never thought that some people who follow a little bit what I do could motivate me this much. It's one of my strongest drive at the moment. So thanks for showing interest in my works and sorry for the rambling. Love and hapiness for all of you. And don't do like me. Sleep and be disciplined.

So, you're blowing up Independence Hall in Philadelphia...

*nods*  It could use a bit of paint... a little reworking.. a Starbucks in the southeast corner... NOT.

(Actually, that's the wing that you destroyed... Take THAT Starbucks!)

Nice pic!

A-N

PS - No, there is no Starbucks inside Independence Hall - the nearest one is two blocks away at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital!

I was never good at proper critique, so I'll just say... Holy crap. This is insanely cool.

Love the file names XD
And the result too!

Fais attention avec ton doigt, il vaut généralement mieux éviter de trop jouer quand ça fait mal, sinon c'est un coup à ce que ça dure encore plus longtemps !

Et du coup toutes mes félicitations pour le résultat, d'autant plus si tu as découvert/utilisé des méthodes inédites ! Le résultat est génial et esthétiquement très intéressant

Merci beaucoup !
Et oui, merci pour le conseil ! Je vais essayé de pas trop le malmener. Une chance que c'est pas aussi pire que je pensais. Il faut juste pas que j'évite de l'utiliser pendant de trop longues périodes ^^
