I’ve been wanting to do this painting for a while and this was the perfect time. This is based on the box art for one of my favorite games growing up, SimCity 1989.
This is fantastic and so greatly done!
Excellent!
Yikes a tornado in the city! Awesome.
I've been wondering if someone would paint a tornado and how they would do it. Now I know. Great work.
Very cool - excellent execution!
such a cool idea, I love the source material you chose! Masterfully done, I have to know, what technique did you use to do the building windows/lights? So cool.
Thanks everyone! I started with a black canvas, liquid clear, then covered the whole canvas with a mix of vdb and prussian blue for the bluish grey color. the tornado I taped in the white bands with a fan brush. the buildings I blocked in with black and tapped a little white in for the dusty areas. I let the painting dry for a couple days, cut thin strips of masking tape for the vertical areas I wanted to keep dark. For the lights, I used titanium white with a hint of cad yellow and liquid clear, and spread the paint out flat as you would with a cabin, and tapped a tiny bit of that on the edge of the palette knife, and tapped gently horizontally.
Awesome one, Jessie. <3
When I saw the image I immediately wondered if you had done the windows with the knife. And yep, you did indeed.
yup! I love that I can take techniques I've learned from Bob and apply them to other things!
Awesome and great idea! I can hear the Sim City police sirens.
Great work, I love cityscapes!
Love the tornado ... Great job ..
Wow, looks scary 😱😉
