Artist's Comments

A small asteroid, about half a mile in diameter, is about to impact in the middle of the ocean.

This was made in Photoshop, took about 2 hours to finish. All made with brushes, burn/dodge, smudge, etc., except for the ocean ripple filter. This is my first 2d piece in Photoshop, before I've only tried some model texturing in Photoshop. Any critique/suggestions is more then welcome.

It needs more tonal range, going from white to black. More contrast, basically. Add a new layer over the sky and use that to fade the clouds in the background with a foggish haze so that they don't appear to just get smaller. Enhance the fireball with some color dodging and it'll come out a lot more striking.

All of that aside, this is very good. How'd you paint it? Tablet, mouse?

Thanks, I'll do some adjusting and see how it looks. I just use a mouse, don't have tablet (yet).
