Description

I went into downtown L.A. and did a quoache painting of this actual location below the freeway, then took it home, scanned it, and turned it into a digital color study using Syd Mead's palette for his Bladerunner paintings. All in photoshop by that point, though I think I used painter for some of the blending. Done in a day.

I really like this. The colour scheme is interesting. It works well.

often i enjoy the sketches even more than finely tuned finished works. it leaves just a little to the imagination and hints at movement in the scene. love the light in this one as well, especially as it cascades down the far wall.

I'm in awe of the fact that you were able to really get down the Blade Runner look in this picture. A pity I can't see the sketch you made prior to the actual digital painting, but that's life I suppose. Oh, on a re-read of the comments you made with this, there WAS no sketch prior to your painting at all. Well, foot in my mouth time now. Good stuff, I'll have to try and emulate this sometime when I get the inspiration to do this.
