Here is my second attempt on digital coloring, and there are a few upsides and downsides...
First of all - the whole aim of this was to create a smog effect, which did not work... and the smoke on the crumpling building was rubbish.
But! I was very pleased how my mountain range ended up. With a combination of layers and erasing, the results where good.

She looks so dainty, even while stepping on a building!
I absolutely love the fact that you put so much emphasis on backgrounds. In the end, a lot of macro art just comes down to a fur surrounded by non-perspective-corrected boxes and stick figures (not that I'm trying to rip on those artists- I can't even get the boxes right), but your scenes always convey a tremendous sense of scale, pun intended. Every time I look at one, I notice a new level of detail.

Colouring snowscapes is just about the hardest way to start practising colour. Right up there with night shots and water ;)
But a good effort all the same. Must be torturous to line out all those tiny details knowing you have to go back over and consider each one again for the second part of the drawing process =)

Like, Wow, Man.
Again, you blow us all away with the dedication and skill you show doing your art. Everything fits and doesn't look tacked on in any way. Wonderful details and a delightfully pretty character.
Ah, the hazards for padding around in the fog and snow. For everyone else. So, is there a reason why she's following the BMW? Covertly trailing international jewel thieves, maybe? ;)

I really like everything going on in the foreground (that pose is great!), and the mountains in the back look good as well, but the transition between the two doesn't seem to work...
I know it would take a lot more time, but you might try removing the smog and making the snow/city fade into the mountains. As of now it looks like everything is resting on the edge of a cliff. Though maybe you could make it that way!
Nice work overall... lots of neat detail, too!

Your right, the color contrast is too great between the back and fore ground.
Well, i was intended to make the entire drawing covered in fog from the begining, but it did not work out at all.
Like you said, it does look like the village is resting on the edge of a cliff - which does look allright.
cheers for the nice comment :)

there is nothing about the piece that i don't love. it really shows how much care and attention to detail you put into everything you do... you might not finish art like its going out of fashion, but the quality speaks volumes and every piece is such a visual treat. I just hope you enjoy doing these as much as I enjoy seeing them.
I think it's one of the few images where the body language tells a different story. In many of the pictures, the image tells a tale of dominance. The figure ascendant over the landscape controls it. It's a large part of the draw, at least for some of us.
This lady tells a different story. She still dominates the landscape, even more than some. But she's bent over, indicating that she's a part of the "little world" still, but her ability to interact with it without causing damage is mitigated. She has an expression of surprise and concern, so it's possible that she's either new to being this size or new to being around these people. She didn't expect to put her foot through a building. Her pose is at the same time dominant, vulnerable (the crossed, inbent leg, the left hand not knowing what to do with itself), sexy (both her being a Scream-gal and gripping the most phallic thing in the landscape),
I like her outfit a lot, and the mountain colors of it and her reflect her surroundings. Blues, greys, and browns are fitting for someone on top of the world, while the brief bit of red highlights that she stands out. It's a passionate color, and fitting for someone in the swiss alps. The setting is fitting for someone of her stature. There's a romance to being in the mountains, to dwell on something that dwarfs you so significantly, and it's replicated in her bearing. The mountains appeal to me too, as their shapes are unnatural for mountains, and more resemble giant ears, making the mountain range seem more like the head of a great, stone person (with the one to the right being a tail, perhaps). This ties in, to a degree, with my macro origin story, so there's a nostalgia there.
I even like the composition. One's eye is drawn up and right until it reaches the tail, which pulls it along an arc and settling down over the image itself. It's a very nice flow.
Finally, since I live in Germany, it's nice to imagine a gal like her just across the border.
