It doesn't look experimental and thought provoking, it just looks like you drew the tower with incorrect lighting.
You need to be able to do things the correct way before you can do them the incorrect way well.

The three rocks are quite obvious copy/paste fodder and the lighting on the tree looks off, surely at the bottom of the branches there would be a little shadow?

Having said all that I do like the sky and the shadowing.

I'm a heavy handed player so I snap quite a few strings. I use heavier ones since I don't really do bends and such but I can still snap a good few high e's.

I tend to restring for sound and feel rather than breaking them though, on the acoustic once a month since it starts sounding dead after that, on the electrics once every couple months or a couple of days before a gig so they're a little worn in when I play.

I think you either need to decrease the amount of different shades of each colour you have to 1 or 2 or smooth shade stuff, the shadows look kinda messy they way they are.

Yeah I think it's making them look like they don't exist in the same space.

Imagine trying to draw a cube smack bang in the middle of that road near the center of the image, do you follow the one point perspective that the road does or the two point that everything else does? It doesnt really make sense.

I'm not too good at perspective myself though so I'd wait for someone with more skill to give their thoughts on it before trying anything drastic ;).

I'm confused about the perspective here. You seem to have two vanishing points far to the left and right of the image and then one inetbween the buildings? How are they supposed to look from the top down? Because I can't work out if they're supposed to be in a line on the same street or on a corner or what.

I'd still shoot for an interface sometime in the future if you're planning on recording direct.

At the moment I use a USB condensor mic because I have no money and it's a pretty portable solution. It's useful for vocals, acoustic and micing up my cab.

Also you're recording your guitar before you can even re-string it? Blimey, the strings that were on there must have been black as coal.

I wasn't aware you could even record stuff like guitar into FL studio easily? I've used it before but it only seemed like a sequencer to me.
