Random landscape time!
This is a much quicker piece than my last two. I've been getting frustrated with some of the line art on one of the pictures I'm working on, so I thought I'd make a quick sketch, and play around with brushes and unwind a little.
I liked how the sketch looked, so I put a some more time into it, to polish it up a little.
A few people have been asking me about the brushes I've been using. The brushes I used in this picture for the pine trees in the background, and the tree leaves are from this pack: http://fav.me/d12rnjv
Overall, it was quite a fun exercise.
Comments and criticism are always welcome.

I'm honored to hear that. :D
I have some higher resolution versions in my gallery over on Deviantart. http://chromamancer.deviantart.com/gallery/
They get re-sized down to 1280 pixels here.
If you download them over there, you can get higher resolution versions.

I hope so. I'll still do a bit of practicing before I try to send them a few examples.
I'm planning on re-drawing a few cards eventually, as samples for them. I'm not quite sure when I'll give that a try, but that's how you'll know it's coming.
If I do get to make some card art someday, I think I'd have to make a deck or two based around those cards, as well.
What colors do you usually play?

Well I have a big variety of decks XD My best decks are a white weenie deck and a green tooth and nail deck. Though my favourite deck is the said one with all the threecolored dragons in it, hence it features all five colors. To increase the style it has unglued, unhinged and foil unhinged lands hihi. Probably you know the unhinged lands, they are by John Avon too.
Ah, fun.
I have a few decks. I have a 5 color nephilim deck with a few of those dragons, too. My best at the moment are probably a blue/white/green Bant deck, and a blue/white control deck based around Ornate Kanzashi. As far as lands go, I've been swapping the new full art lands into some of my older decks.

Thank you.
I have a few adjustment layers that allow me to darken or brighten the lighting on this one. After I took a look at this image with a few different color profiles, I noticed that it looked too dark on some of them, so I lightened some areas up a bit. Including that right side... My tendency to overcompensate may have kicked in, though.
I uploaded the one without that correction here for you, though: http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/.....1/journeyp.jpg
How does that look?

Much more unified, I like it. The near ridge on the left side was too close in value to the Dark Forest on the right, flattening everything out too much. This has much more punch to it, which enhances a scene like this I think. Emphasizes the light more.
I love that your sky has such a variety of values, too. Looks like shifting, glowy clouds, and I know how hard to pull off that can be XD

Ah, so that one works well on your monitor. Hmm... That version was too dark on another monitor that I looked at it with.
I think I'll upload an edit with half the difference. That should make things a little more dynamic, but hopefully not make it too dark for anybody.
Color profiles can be a pain sometimes.
I always like drawing skies.
I've found that working in grayscale before coloring makes coloring much easier.
