Okay, so this was fun to make, despite the requirements stating "The Work: must be at least 3000 pixels in the shortest length" Which meant I had to make it bigger, Huge infact. Freaking massive, I had to compress it, the source file was over 100MB just for an image..!? But at least it would make a decent sized print. I know for a fact that I won't win the contest, there are A LOT of other, better, contest entries with detailed brushwork etc. etc. Unfortunately I don't have a graphics tablet or all that jazz so my drawing isn't that good at the moment. I gotta buy me one of them tablets. So anyway here is my huge cop-out of an entry.
There is a lot going on in the image, so I clearly didn't go for the "Minimalistic" approach, but hey looks pretty darn good considering I have NO TALENT at this art thing...
I might tweak it, make the sky grey etc. etc.
But the filesize is just too big it will take a while for my computer to process/render any dramatic filters or changes etc.
I don't think it looks as good, but it is darker, much darker [insert evil laugh]
