Description

My contest entry for :iconrising-artists: "Colors" contest. As the aim was to focus (mainly) on a single colour, I went with light grey since, honestly, that's the best (and only) colour I can successfully work with given the aim. That, and I favor overcast over sunny days (totally not emo or anything).

Also, please forgive the sketchiness. I was testing out a painting style and decided to forego lineart altogether. I'm quite sure this piece won't get very far, considering the more vibrant stuff I've seen from other entries and to be frank, I doubt I'd care much if I won or lost. I just appreciate any garnered feedback and pointed out errors since it's my first time drawing a station platform.

Time taken: 5-6 hours.
Program: Photoshop only.

This is beautiful! And I second Tae's comment; it really looked like a photo at first glance(and then a pencil sketch until I clicked the thumbnail). It's kinda like that one commission with the Bulbasaur in that the background seems simple-ish, but in a really detailed and pretty way if that makes any sense.

Also, another round of spot the signature has been won!
