If I were you (which I'm not) I'd check out Miez's tutorial. At about 2.1 it shows how to do the sky. It uses a gradient, & it looks really good!

Also, scroll down to 2.3 for some advice on clouds - it looks a little bare without.

Now do you understand why we worship Miez so much?

If you have photoshop id recommend creating your sky as a seperate layer behind your scenery. Make it a sky blue colour, then with a large brush and using about 7% opacity, brush over areas with a slightly darker shade of blue. This gives the look of a 'painted' sky. Just an idea.

I don't think there's anything wrong with using gradients, it's just they can of course be used badly.

Some people think that by adding gradients, your picture will be automatically be improved 217%, but of course it's not the tools you use, it's more about how you use them. Same goes for filters.

So, in moderation, this stuff can be used to your advantage, as long as you don't go overboard.

But then, what do I know. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to bgs.

Quick edit:

I just wanted to try, even though you have already done it, I really like the castles

Is it just me or does the tower resemble a phallus?
