Video Time-lapse:

Really wanted to have this done before EVO finals kick off, but since I was feeling sick until friday I started to get stressed out. Last week I had a base I liked done quite early, but for this one (which required a lot more research) things didn't go quite as smoothly. When I finally woke up on friday and felt ready to paint I didn't have much of an idea in mind of how I'd make the composition. I just knew I wanted to paint a desert, which I hadn't done before. So I went from there. Used more soft brushes than usual and a lot of smudging, pushing the contrasts a lot harder than I've done recently (trying to get the effect of an over-exposed photo). Fun painting to do, and somehow managed to get it done before the finals so that's good!Wallpaper/poster size: www.patreon.com/posts/13028607
