I like this style alot, the stars add a nice conflict between the city and the dark, though i wish there were more stars, it's too bad black reflects like it does, it kind of messes up the top left from camera flash :(

Anyway, very nice, is there a name for this style?

Thanks, actually there was no camera flash, I just put a varnish on this pretty thick so sunlight is reflecting off of it. As for a name for this style... I just made it up, I don't know what it would be called. The first one I ever did like this is called "Josiathe" It is on here. I would give you a link, but I don't know how to do that. Josiathe happened from drawing my son from my imagination before he was born... I did a contour line sketch and I liked it so much that I drew it again on a much larger surface and painted it.. but I drew it so that it was like painting inside the lines. That is why it has that puzzle effect. Thanks for you comments, support and questions.

colours remind me of tetris.

Cool, it's just that that style reminds me of, well, the art style used in TV shows from back in the 50's, like the intros tothe show you know? Like with Bewtiched, the animation at the start, that's what this style reminds me of.

Oh, Okay! I know what you are talking about. I'll have to pay better attention to those animations now with that in mind. Thanks again!

I wish I could see these in real life all at once. I think that would be the only way to get a real feel of the " cityscapes". that sky has some great texture. nice work yet again.

I like this one even better than the "In Memory of.....". I like the way you painted the buildings and also choise of the colors is brilliant.


I want to thank you for all your fans for reacting to comments. It's not that common, I realized. Thanks for taking the time.

Thanks count. The show is October 11. I will try to get a picture of them all hanging together so you can see them like that. They do look pretty cool in a cluster.
