Description
" I am a poor wayfaring strangerTravelling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, toil or danger
In that fairy land to which I go
I'm going home to see my mother
I'm going home no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home"
Wayfaring Stranger - Jack White
---------------------
I have always loved this song, for me, it's more personal and deep than taking it litteraly. For me, I am a stranger of my own self. How many of us try to find our way "home". to find ourselfs, to find why are we here, what makes us happy.... So, I thought of portraying that, and I wanted to draw a city that looked sureal, strange, yet peacefull, and in this, I tried to give a mood of a far far away place, a place not known to man, yet, this stranger has reached it.
Is he finally home?
------------------
hehe, first ever entry with NO stock photos whatsoever!!! I BRUSHED the whole thing, using my all new less then 24 hrs old digital tablet
(yes, I finally got one!)... I am seriously happy with this, it's not my usual style and when I first started using the tablet, it gave me a bit of problems, but I got used to it really quickly! comments, critique and fav!
EDIT: I listened to my friends tips and I changed it a bit.. made the man smaller, that way, he looks smaller in face of this HUGE city (metaphorically speaking), removed the grass (they were bothering a lot of people) and added a mist... sorry for those who fav. the one before and dont like this one....)

Hehe, am glad you liked it...
as for the tablet, it's a 5'4' MousePen genius thingie
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
alright! that's the one I have. But without a mouse. It's pretty good, cheap, and I like the little hotspots on the edges. But beware of damaging the pen, I tried to open it once to change the battery and it didn't work, instead it's all wobbly now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
probably not actually, i just thought i was supposed to. i'm pretty sure there is no battery inside the pen, but at the time it was "attesh"ing a bit and it seemed thick enough to contain a battery so I thought I had to change it.

nice usage of space, through colors. it did create the feel of perspective in it. i like the effect of the fog in the whole area. but the birds.. i think they needed the feel of more motion in them.

I like the watercolor look you achieved in this image. And although is very minimal, it's says something to the viewer due to your choice of color and the way you placed the figure and birds.

This is so beautiful! I love the colours you've chosen...they remind of me sunrises. This picture makes me think of being lost in dreams...the kind of dream where you think you've woken up but then you realise that you still don't really know where you are and everything around you is kind of hazy. Like being lost, but not in a scary way. The comfort of anonymity.
Yay for the new tablet!

are u a left handed?

hehe, thanks

well i'm left handed and i put my signature on my left side as u did
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ohhh, i never thought of that

I. Love. This. 
The grass in the foreground however I just can't decide. It's a bit distracting without having anything to add. When I look at the rest I get the feeling like the signature should be in that corner, to create a presence that wouldn't interfere with the composition. I think if you removed the grass and put your signatrue there, a bit larger than you have it now, it would be perfect.
Kudos for not being bound to a single style
Congrats for the tablet!!

I don't know why, but this is just fucking blowing my mind. So smooth. I love the style, colors, and details. Nice quote, as well. You should try more paintings of this style.

The colours in this are excellent, and the different shades of orange look really good in contrast with the black of the person.
I love the overall look of this... I Like it a lot
Congrats on getting your tablet darlin!

thanks sweetie... I'm glad you liked the colors, cause I was going for a purplish color at first, with all the different shades of course, but then I saw that it was used too much, so i changed it to this..
thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
cool... I think purple may have been a little bit strange. Surreal, but not quite in the mood I see with the orange.
I pictured it all in purple, and I like it in orange better

"Home is where the heart is".
Wonderful layers of colors.
The only thing you could improve are the (weeds) brushes to the right.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
what do you mean? what can I improve about them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...well, whatever it takes to help you on the journey.
They just don't blend well with the background, they should be a bit "smoother", blurrier, or maybe not there at all.
The rest of the composition is in perfect harmony.

Absolutly astonishing, I love how you have captured this. It really plays with my mind.
You've inspired me.
A question though. How did you get the ripple effect in the water with brushes?
