This is for a project for school where we had to draw a western Canadian environment with the foreground in shadow and a light background. I'm pretty sure we're supposed to include a narrative aspect as well (ie: people doing something in the environment). The narrative I had running here is some farmer dude was out tractoring but his tire popped, and during a smoke break while repairing it, he sees a ufo and is getting his cell phone camera ready. It took me about 3 hours, and I had a lot of fun doing it. It's rushed and sketchy, but I've spent a lot of time looking at the art of Sam Neilson*. His rendering and colors blow me away, and I'm working on putting more and more effort into my rendering. He's doing what I want to do, art wise.

I think I'm going to go in and add to it later and make the lighting correct

This pictiure is so kick ass!

Really nice pic Tom!
I recently discovered your blog and I am very impressed by the art you have been producing. Out of curiosity, do you use Adobe Illustrator for the most part? I guess I should be asking, what software(s) do you work with when creating these pieces.
I noticed that you have a Quatchi (2010 Olympics Mascot) in your room, do you live out in Vancouver area? I'm out in kits.
this picture is awesome. i'll slowly upgrade my arm to something quad-core and compete with you or people of your skills one day.
