This was my first real successful landscape(IMO). I've had a lot of trouble with them. So...I thought, painting a scene from the A2 Desert would be really simple and nice! So I did.
I used a screenshot from the Act 2 cinematic of Diablo 2 as reference. Let me know what you think!
About 1 hour 30 minutes of work.

actually I think it's perfect, there's a sand storm going on in that painting, and those things make you loose both perspective and detail, so it's perfect... otherwise it would be to perfect to be true... does that make any sense?
You're too kind Cow King. Thank you for the kind words. And yes, it makes sense.
What you're referring to is usually referred to as "atmospheric fog". Something I was only recently introduced to. The backgrounds of very large landscapes will usually always be a bit out of focus and blurry. Because, as is, with how the eye sees things in the distance there is almost a fog laid over the horizon. And most of the good artists somehow implement it for a bit of realism and believability in the landscape. So, I attempted it. Glad you like it!
@Dauroth- That's QUITE the compliment bud. Thanks. Why don't you post work anymore? I hope you're still making art!

Thanks a lot Ophion! The sky was definitely the most successful. Not nearly as much texture and stuff to deal with.

I kind of like the the detail, or lack-there-of in the sand. To me, it kind of represents how the desert is an endless wasteland. I want to see MORE landscapes!!
Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
Thanks for all this positive feedback! Really appreciate it. I'll definitely be doing more landscapes. Although, I don't know that I'm even done with this one either though lol.
