Description

I'm still trying to get to grips with 2D imagery in Photoshop. This one is made up from parts of free daytime images of London all merged together. I then turned it into a night-time scene, created all the lighting and then painted in the spaceships. I must say a massive thanks to all who favourited my 'Old Place By The Lake' render as it got me to number 6 in the Art Charts a few weeks back. As always, any comments on this one will be most welcome. I will get around to returning all my comments but please bear with me as it takes time to comment on over 200 galleries ... but believe me it is a pleasure to view so many fine pieces of artwork. Enjoy ... Tony.

Sorry I missed this earlier Ive been AWOL on work.. This is excellent and the comments I'm reading well deserved, Tony. I spend all my time at work in Photoshop, and you have seemingly captured the moment in a second! Dave

Late again with my viewing .. life has a way of keeping us busy. A beautiful scene, stunning water and sky .. just gorgeous .. and then the horror factor .. the space ships coming in to destroy London and perhaps the world! Amazing how horror and beauty can be mixed so wonderfully!!

Tony I simply must say you once again did a first class job bringing a idea to life. This is incredible work and once more you have set the mood perfectly.
