Windy City

E.O.W #8

The Windy City.
Probably this is the most time consuming artwork I did so far. The linart took around 3 hours and was done on a format slightly smaller than A3. All together it took like 10-12 hours...
Coloring a lineart is quite annoying most of the time. I prefer doing paintings, but sometimes you can only get a certain amount of detail and design out shapes properly/quickly with the help of a strict lineart.
Lighting looks numb, the pic lacks mood. Lots of vanishing points involved here...

sidestory:
I am up in the sky, sailing above the grand cityscape in a sky-streamer and all I see is beyond words. I spot tiny cars, the huge wind generators and as one of the passengers beside me nears my ear to talk to me I hear....

edit: just had to fix this up for a client, so I wanted to upload the edited version here also.
I really never liked the colorful version anyway...
