I find the painting very nice and stylish...
I am waiting to see, if you can make some different and more original environments with this style. You can come out with very good pieces..
May i ask the time the picture had taken?

This is sweet. The ships look a little too removed from the world, though. They are reflecting a lot more blue (than can be accounted by the engines) than the city is. The windows on the building to the right are sharper than anything else in the shot, leading us over there quite a bit. One of the things that made that jump out for me was just how blurry the lumpy building to the left is (with so little texture by comparison), then I noticed that only the cables and bars came close. And while it's not critical that both ships be on the same heading, the fact that they look exactly the same makes the heading difference unnatural.

Very nice.

The piece took me about 5 hours. With only 3-4 months I'm new doing this kind of thing so I had to redo things a couple of times. I noticed that doing an environment is like to have a board full of marbles. You have to move the thing from side to side to build equilibrium, otherwise the marbles are gonna spill. Once the board is moving, it can't be stopped. About the lack of originality, yeah, I still need to build a more elaborated visual vocabulary. It was difficult for me to achieve depth too. I learned so much while doing this pic.

Thanks for the comments, keep em' comming.

I don't get much of a sense of motion from the left ship. The right one seems like it's really moving, but the left one doesn't have that same effect. But the building with the arched windows came out great.. very nice. :)

Ive been really examining this pic. I wasn't sure what was getting to me, but I think I've figuered it out. I think you need more enviromental effects like smoke and haze. Everything seems to be Mid-ground. But great colours (as usual :))

looking good, i would suggest adding many smaller buildings in the background horizon, and possibly adding trails to the jets on the ship. nice work :rendered:

Overall this is pretty solid, someone mentioned that the ship on the left doesn't have the sense of movement that the one on the right does. I think this is due to the fact that the ship on the left is cropped by the picture's border, and we recognize it as a shape more than a form in space. Good luck!

sweet drawing. the blue on the left is slightly distracting.
