I said I'd paint a scene!

Ok, here's something I'm painting in Photoshop. Its gradually developing from a very rough idea of a spaceport (possibly...).

My first attempt at painting a scene.

Ever.

Working from photographic reference for the face, I might possibly incorporate some 3D into the background if I bottle it but the aim is to paint the whole thing and kind of make it up as I go along.

This is just a small part of the image. The whole image is 2400 x 1800 resolution and this character takes about a third of the screen. The face has taken me four and a half hours to paint from scratch(ignore the hat, thats just a stand-in). I'll post more as soon as its worth posting. I'm having a blast. Oh and ignore the eyebrows too!
