Watchers Giveaway Prize - 3/3


Tumblr repost: abovecloudsart.tumblr.com/post…


Finally finished! This is the final Watchers Giveaway Prize, this time for Zedex!

Oh man, the universe totally worked against me to make this take way too long. If it wasn't the daily thunderstorms keeping me off the computer for hours a day, then it was Photoshop being stupid. For some reason, PS wanted to shift half of my layers to the left whenever I would rotate the canvas. I've never had that happen to me before, so I didn't discover what was causing the problem until about 10-12 times in. Fun!

But I'm super happy with how the final came out. When Zedex asked me to draw a desert wasteland, I totally took it as a chance to practice atmospheric perspective, since I don't have a lot of experience with it. I'm pretty happy with how it came out, though I would like to practice with it some more before I would consider taking commissions for "deep" backgrounds like this.

Oh, and if you're wondering about the gears, Zedex asked me for a Steampunk theme, and that's my attempt to fulfill his request. I'm... not super familiar with Steampunk stuff, but I do know it involves gears at least. GEARS! MAGICAL DESERT GEARS!!!

I hope you like it. :)
