Hey Steve I love this image! Can I use it on my self published ebook I am working on? It really fits the mood - I would love this to be the cover artwork. Let me know! Cheers.

Who knows why they left it. It's happened in our history though. The Mayans just walked out of their cities and dispersed in the rain forest; kind of amazing

It's definitely an alien structure

ahhh I see. Well I'll be posting a digital practice piece tomorrow, I'd very much appreciate a crit if you can find a few minutes. It's a digital painted version of Vitreous Extrapolation (old pencil piece), and I tried out a few different things I've been learning from ya'll here on DA. It's gonna look a little un-unified as a result, just practicing. Can't wait to show it to you. THink I'll try out the eraser technique you described in one corner for testing. Thanks again for all your conversation and help lately.

I look forward to seeing it.
Nearly everything in my gallery is practice - so no worries

nice one Steve. Hey how do you get those polygonal brush shapes and motifs?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The polygonal look is a combination of things. There are some custom brushes, and the fact that the painting is built up in layers. If you have 2 opaque layers and erase the one on top it will reveal what's underneath. I use this technique quite a bit - it's like using the eraser as a brush.

Thanks so much! Photoshop certainly helps with the speed. It is like sketching, I guess - really finished artwork can take a lot longer
