I used different photos to collage a base for the painting using different layer options
I used lighten layer with a mask to get some city lights
started painting over and picking up some building details
created silhouettes with layer masking for the flying objectsUsed overlays and color dodges to enhance the focal point and push the light and darks.

A class demo from my Entertainment Design class at Red Engine Studios. The assignment was to experiment with destruction and also study the interaction of characters in an environment to create a key art. I used my favorite characters to demonstrate the lecture. Enjoy~

Which one do you like? comments please~

This is a personal work that I have been working on. Its about marines of the near future.
I personally like version 2 on the top, I spent more time to create a scene and tell a story. But some of my friends (mostly non-artist) tells me that they like my earlier version 1 better. They say there is more emotion. I was going to submitt this to art forums but not sure which one is better. HELP ME CHOOSE:)!~
