Top three stole my heart <-- soft spot for East-Asian-inspired scenery. PS, I'm assuming?

I've been contemplating a switch, actually, since Painter 11 isn't supported on Win7 (it's awful glitchy) and I only get student discount for three more months O_O

Amazing!! I don't even know which one I like the most!! Perhaps the forest one, the atmosphere is just unique and amazing!

Glad you like it! I personally like that one as well, there's a certain fresh feeling I get from it! (perhaps it's the saturated greens xD )

I LOVE the second to last. Reminds me a lot of Mushishi's scenery. 
But they all look pretty awesome, the city is very impressive.

I haven't seen Mushishi yet. xD But I wanted to check it out due to the scenery!

I sure recommend it! It's very different from other series I've watched, it's loaded with metaphorical-introspective-fantasy themes. The animations and scenery are gorgeous and so is the soundtrack. /Fan

Just amazing!
These all look so incredibly realistic.. seen as thumbnails they look like photographs! Even when you look at them more closely, they appear realistic- but the colors are so much more lush and the details are stunning!

Thanks Tajii!
I'm glad you found them to be photographic! Though to be honest, I was trying to be more painterly when I was working on them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, when I say photograph I don't mean in the sense that they look unartistic ^__^ You can tell that they're painted; but the realistic style you drew them in is really profound <3

Don't get me wrong, I like photo realism. It just wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I was practicing. xD But thank you for the kind words Tajii. ^^

I envy your backgrounds too now. X_X So much detail.... They almost look like photos in the thumbnails!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't envy it too much. xD The top 3 I used custom brushes pretty liberally!

Oh my gosh! I flippin LOVE the last picture ♥

Thanks man! Coming from SF, I love cityscapes that show off the steep streets!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The street is amazing !
I love the light and the little touch of red from the car. Your ambiance is really beautifull !
The one from nature are very cool too, but I'm a city girl and urban landscapes have my love !

Thank you miss! I really love the hint of light and color at dusk. ^^
haha I'm from the country, but I do love cityscapes!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Thanks! I'd say it's my favorite as well, but I enjoy cityscapes of SF so I might be a little biased.

I'd say the top 3 were about an hour each, I was testing out custom brushes so they did a lot of the work. For the City, I think 2-3 hours?

haha
That's quite the high compliment, Thank you!

These are beautiful... Your use of color to convey complex scenery is captivating. ^w^

How are these considered sketches!! Their amazing!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you, I'm glad you think so! And I apologize, I simply title any work that doesn't have a title or any narrative 'sketch'. I do put a lot of time into working on these but it's simply easier on the filing! ^^

The stark contrasts of scenery is really captivating when observed as a whole work of art. Great color choices, too.

Thank you very much! I like to vary up my subject matter as much as I can to keep things interesting. ^^
