I did this painting in a time limit of half an hour. However, I am far from happy with it and will probably edit it further at a later date. The driving theme here was to capture the light falling over a Roscillian city accentuating the futuristic look of it. The ship in port came out well, but the city seems dead and lifeless, as a ruin.

My second version of the image featured a stronger source of light and urban lighting to bring the city to life. In order to paint this, I am following the advise of digital artist Gary Tonge, who wrote in the book, 'Bold Visions: A Digital Painting Bible' the compositional balance can be achieved through flipping the image to see if it still works. This new perspective will highlight any mistakes and show any unnatural shading.
