Whoa, a painting!
This is actually one of the small amount of pictures I spend more than 20 minutes on.
This is like 2 hours of work or something, hope you enjoy :)

I also made a video from the first 25 minutes or so, trying out Camstasia :)
The video is here!

The stairs and character give it a great epic-ish scale. I also like how you effectively lead the viewers eye into the focal point in the portal/fire/thingy. Everytime i check some of your paintings i learn something new, great stuff :thumbsup:.

Hah, hilarious. I wrote that comment yesterday, just now i sat down to the PC and you answered 5 minutes later :laughing:. Im interested to know, are you self learned or did you receive some form of training in art? Since i read your journal post from last year that you went to study on some kind of technical school. And your pieces are full of things like composition and color/perspective knowledge. So i was a bit confused :lick:.

I'm selftaught and yes, I'm studying to become an engineer :)
Looking at good people's work, trying to figure out how they're achiving such amazing pieces can be good, even though it can also be demotivating! There are however a lot of tutorials and things spread over the internet.
I don't really watch much except Feng Zhu's design cinema though. I hang out with other people that are really good painters though so we make eachother better I guess :P

Thanks for answering. Thats good to hear for me because im learning on my own, and i doubt i will be able to attend any formal art classes for a long time. Im more of a graphic designer, but i noticed that all these concepts of design, composition etc. are very universal.

I have some other sources that cover more fundamentals than feng zhu (since he covers none :lick:). But i check in there regularily to test my knowledge on his videos. They are very nice for when you want to put together all that foundation knowledge.

Out of curiosity, what kind of engineer are you trying to be? Mechanic? Software? Construction? (i bet there are more types out there :lick:)

There are many amazing selftaught artist out there. It doesn't matter how you learn things and most of the stuff can be found on the internet. A school can probably give you the motivation needed to spend a lot of time on it and not go lazy. But yeah, fundamentals are very important and hard. (I feel like I don't know anything about them still.)

I'm studying to become an electrical engineer! :)

Yeah, engineering is just a title for it. Or master in electrical engineering, sounds more badass ;)
Thank you, and good luck with your art!
