FanArt: Terran Sunset

From Final Fantasy IX. The figure is meant to be Kuja, the main villan (it bears little resmblance though).

The setting is Terra, Kuja's homeworld. Near the end of the game's story Kuja has a massive dummy spit and decides to destroy the planet, this is the partially destoyed world and Kuja's having a break (shame he doesn't change his mind, Terra could have had a fine tourist industry with its scenery).

I like the sky (clouds are a lot of fun to paint) but something is nigglingly 'wrong'. If you have any (I don't care how stupid) suggestions for improvements I would love to know them. Done in Deep Paint (a program no one's probably heard of).

I don’t think I could give any decent "advice" for the sky, because it’s so beautiful. You’ve given it an almost oceanic feel, like the clouds are ripples in a vast water source. I suppose you could make them a bit softer, but honestly i think they’re great as they are. In fact, softening them might take away their impact. This sky is sooo beautiful!

I especially love your artistic use of the primary colors, featuring Kuja in red on a blue platform against a yellow sky. It’s really affective.

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "I really like doing clouds using deep paint (mimics real paint- though in Hitchhikers’ fashion; is not completely unlike real paint). Well I can’t make any changes to it now, my computer was very co-operative last year with a record 3 crashes.

The blue platform that Kuja’s on is one of the weird blue structures that seem to litter Terra’s skyline (I’ll just assume that you’ve played the game and have some clue as to what I’m on about). I’ve no idea what their purpose is though."

I actually haven’t played the game, but I’ve seen bits and pieces of it.

Just thought I’d comment back to say I saw clouds like this this morning and I thought of this piece. It really is gorgeous.
