A new private project. Melancholic atmosphere from small deserted American town in 50's, picture inspired by my trip to US.
Let me know any critics, I would like to make more in this theme and welcome some thoughts.

All in PS with wacom intuos.

Critique by *GeminiLiam Feb 5, 2012, 4:31:07 PM
Two very different critiques already and I must say I have to agree more with the first, a wonderful piece of work., your detail is just amazing. An autumn scene captures the decaying of life perfectly, old cars rusting, leaves turning brown and decaying. I think your sky is beautiful, moody, dark and depressing, light and dark showing the fear of death and decay but also shining on what could have been. The road shadows are real and amazing, the cars beautifully decrepit. Didn't we all play in such old wrecks in by gone years :-) This is simply a wonderful piece of work, congratulations.

I would like to say you have created one admirably amazing work of art. :) It is very noticeable by the quality and how you put every little detail in this work that you have done your best efforts. Also, I noticed the shading and lighting you have put in here, which also makes you painting look very realistic.
It is extremely difficult to find something for you to improve on, perhaps someone else can, but I'm sorry that I cannot. I really think you should keep working on different scenery and keep doing what your doing, I love your art and please continue! :heart:

What a fascinating atmosphere... I love the little details, like the advertisement on the fence.

I love the way you use light. Almost photo-realistic, but with enough artistic impression to make it interesting. And what a wonderful feel of nostalgia too!

Awesome, even for someone from Western Europe, never visited the States. Your image even kept me busy for more than 30 minutes; reading all the comments, even explored Interstate 70 with Google Earth Streetview, but no success, came across this site: [link]
So, thank you for keeping me busy...LOL.

sad and quiet as well, you could do the same in the US now with massive pick ups and old dark fashioned buildings shattered by the economic crisis. Hey, United states and Europe needs a deep overhaul. Anyway, it is a very master piece you did here. Congrats!

oh! kinda thought of it more of Apocalypse or a place after zombie attack, the colors & effects on cars & wood gives me this feeling. Anyway, love it anyway. I love the colors & atmosphere of your artworks :)

Your critics have stated the nature of this digital painting really well,however,i feel like i have something to add.
I hope i don't offend you by saying things.I really hope they will help you.I feel the concept lacks dramatic elements,for me the cars are not such a representant of drama since i don't feel attached to the cars.I don't drive.Many people might,however.
It also lacks some elements that might otherwise tell us stories,for example basketball backyards,where a father and a son could have been enjoying their free time together.
Or a wheelchair,or a craddle.I do understand that they couldn't be shown in this specific painting,due to what you have chosen to show,but those were just examples,and you could have found many just like that.Judging by how well this was made,i believe you got what it takes to take it to a more dramatic level.
I like however your style of approaching your viewers with the overall setting,especially with the subtle elements of advertising,on the right fence,on the wooden beam and above the house.
That will sure get them inside the story.

I really hope i haven't offended you,these are just my two cents,and yes,i know that pictures from my gallery don't reflect my critique but that is because i am not the artist people that i criticise think i am.I do hope this will help you in the future as otherwise i wouldn't have said it.
