This theme totally coincides with my current project, so I'll give it a go once again. Perhaps this time I won't be distracted by another inspiration :D.

Hmm... interesting topic, maybe I`ll draw something for practise, as well without tablet (damn, I really need it).

This one is a lot better, Afflict. Kinda messy, but better. ;)

Normally i wouldnt do this, but i dont think it's fair that people spend a lot of time on entries and you try to suggest this is 'referenced'. Referencing means you look at an image for colour values and composition etc, not a direct paintover of a photograph.

I think the only real way of becoming brilliant at background art is to study photos scenes or anything for that matter. Using a reference is way better well untill you get so good you dont need it. (Used mostly for colors anyway)

I am completely new at this and well I want to achieve the highest quality background that I can posibly get.
