After a lot of procrastination and sporadic progress, I finally finished this painting. Having seen plenty of highly detailed landscape pieces from this fandom, I decided it was time for me to give it a shot. A fair bit more ambitious than most of my work, it feels I spent way too much time on this thing. But it was worth the effort.



This was another of those few instances where I first made a value study before adding in colour. It's still not my favourite method of painting, but I can see the appeal in dealing with value versus colour separately. A major problem is that Gimp doesn't handle value/chroma models very well, but from what I understand, the next version will feature improved colour management. Perhaps then I'll be able to use this technique more effectively.



Also, I decided to be generous and make the downloadable image fit 4k monitors natively. So enjoy the high resolution if you're lucky to have one of those.



Created with Gimp and Wacom Bamboo tablet.
