A background scenery for the comic Red Lantern, the comic project which 
rukis and I've been working on hard to realise.
This is one of the reasons for my absence yet I hope this brightens up the minds for the ones who wait for so long.
I tried to create a worn down yet inviting district. And since I often use muted colours I trie dto go for something more colourful. This is at least what I dared myself on this huage painting. :p
The original is over 5000 px on 300 dpi in width.
Thanks a lot for looking. <3

Holy SHIT! How long did this take you?? It's absolutely jaw-dropping! At first I thought it was a 3d render from Unreal or some other engine!
I do have a question about the far tower in the distance, it doesn't seem to be going to the same vanishing point as everything else. Was that an intentional choice? Either way though this piece is just amazing, look foward to seeing more!!

Thank you so much for the compliment! ^^
Heh yes, it was an intentional choice to make this appear flat as the building wouldn't have shown its full potential and I would have painted it further away even. The 'flat' version was much more of my liking. :)
Plus, I got pretty lazy at that point of the painting even though those were not the last parts of it. XD

Wow, this is amazing. O: This must have taken you forever to do. This really helps me visualize the setting of the comic as well; it's nice knowing what's going on outside of the walls of the building.
I was going to ask about the tower, but it's already been addressed. I think the odd angle makes it stand out more and showcases more detail. C:

Haha, I was going to point out the A/C, too. But someone already did.
But this is an incredible piece. Nicely done. I think you got pretty close to what you wanted with "worn down/inviting". Very nice.
And the both of you are doing a wonderful job with the comic. I thoroughly enjoy reading it. C:

Beautiful rendering.
It feels like a mix of what an old city of Persia, Afghanistan or China could look like.
It's just missing hundreds of people in the street bustling around.
If there is no electricity, there cannot be any fan indeed. But it does add a hong kong slum touch to the pic.

Come along way since I saw it! Alot of texturing indeed! Very good work of course and the usual attention to detail I've seen in your works. The piece reminds me of Prince of Persia somewhat.
What is the lizard like icon on the building wall on the bottom right of the painting?

Gorgeous imagery. I love the way those tree roots wrap around the structure. I honestly wish more cities in our world incorporated plant life so beautifully *sigh*.
I also couldn't help but notice the HVAC unit on that one building but i guess it must get pretty hot under all that fur in the summertime :P

Thats absolutely fascinating perspective, did you use a program like sketchup or the new illustrator for setting up some of the basic facets of the buildings? I had a dream about a similarly root/vine covered city district that this instantly reminded me of, I'd definately dare to walk down those streets at risk of running into some rare treasure!
This is a truly wonderful piece of art. So full of details yet avoids being chaotic.
While all those terraces with arched ways and aerial roots of trees give that distinctive feel of pre-modern Islamic/Indian architecture, the crowdedness and the predominantly rectangular form of the buildings reminds me of those undeveloped and overpopulated areas in 20th century asian cities, such as the ones I saw when I lived in Shanghai long time ago. That tall, white tower and the blue roof(Koreans call those roofs made of wavy plates of asbetos 'slate roof', but I think it's not called as such in english) on the left side of the drawing also reinforces such impression. I think this coexistance of 18th century and 20th century makes this picture more appealing to me.

Do you find yourself going through multiple drafts for your landscapes/scenery?
The way you folded colors on top of one another feels rather rustic, yet as your eye travels down the alley, the feeling of mist swirls around and gives the setting a more ominous feel.
Lots of different moods are in this piece, and I just wondered if that is planned, or improvised as you paint along?
Also... It totally feels like Uncharted, (But in a unique way).
Great work!

I think something's off with the perspective. I can't seem to find points here. At first I thought it is two-point perspective with vertical horizon line, but there are some elements (like that tower in the distance) that don't fit into this...
Was this freehand? Or where are the points? xD
