This painting is sort of special to me. I made it in a rather unusual way... at least when it comes to my personal work process. This time i really painted something. Without any help of 3d plates. I started to understand the importance of custom brushes. This painting captured me and kept me going. From my POV it's one of the best pieces in my portfolio so far. Time to be proud. =D

It started as a tiny just for fun concept. Actually i created a flyer design and wanted to have a rough environment around it to make it simply work/feel better. In the end the environment forced me to throw out the flyer design... since i really liked what was happening there on screen. I added photo textures to suggest detail once i had all the shapes laid out for me. Later on i worked with lots of adjustment layers to get me the right lighting and atmosphere for the environment.

Hope you like what you see. Feedback very welcome.
