Great concept coming from seemingly unrelated scans.
Interesting technique, not new, but you embraced it well in your work to make it your 'signature' in this one.
The colouring of the girl can be a bit more bold but quite well done, however I'm not convinced by
the background job as I feel it's rather too simplistic and could use with more details. And yes you mentioned the
perspective lines in your walkthrough, but the perspective for the grills in the foreground is not right.
I thought the clouds turned out quite good I thought, despite your struggles :) Don't worry, it's something
that everyone has different way of doing, and you just do what you feel comfotable with.
Good work!

Brownie points for the original concept and the story behind the painting.
Great job with a mouse and good use of the perspective lines. I agree with you I think 2-point would work better than
1-point perspective, but you've done a good job of it regardless.
Your lighting is there but weak. Try to be less shy in adding shadows and highlights next time - they do wonders :) Nice design for the ghosts and the cellist, great work overall!

Love the integration of the scans and the painted parts of this wall.
Nice consistent lighting throughout and well-thought background idea for the scans. I wish you did a tute on the
buildings because the 3D-ness looks good, although I reckon they could use a bit more variety to make them look more
believable.
There is a sense of depth which is good, however I would suggest having less details for the far objects, more details
on the closer objects. The smoke/clouds look really good but they could look a bit more
consistent throughout.
Nonetheless, great job in overall!

I thought this wall despite the building-ness leans more towards the fantasy art category. Awesome concept and great brain->paper transfer process, it's not the easiest or natural thing to do for many of us.
However, to me this is not quite completed yet, it's only a beginning of what could potentially make an absolute total-kickass painting.

Disappointed to find out it wasn't zuru behind the umbrella.
Regardless, awesome concept and love the mystique feel of the abstract buildings, although I wouldn't know they
were meant to be buildings if you hadn't mentioned it in your comments, so perhaps a room of improvement
there.
Great use of textured brush to make the pastel effect, looks great!
Nice choice of vibrant colours as well. Awesome job all around, well done.

I admire your boldness to push yourself to new limits and try different techniques and styles. Your painting skills have grown helluva lot and it shows in this piece.
The cityscape lights painting technique is quite effective here and good attention to details which I personally think is a key to success for all paintings. So yeah, great work on adding depth and differentiating distance and near objects, the lighting reflection on the tower and water effect.
I can only point out small things like the water should be much darker for that time of the day and the light
reflections less prominent perhaps, as well as more definition on the dome.
Regardless, great work all around, well done!

Congrats to all winners and thanks for participating! I'm not sure what Candy had in mind for a prize, though XD
