Heavensporte

"Heavensporte" is inspired by an idea: What does heaven look like in a sci-fi concept design world? My interpretation is that Heaven is a active, bustling port where people and ships are free to travel to and fro.

"Heavensporte" finalized artwork.

Step 1 - paint a rough outline. While some custom brushes are created from scratch and used, much of this stage is created by simple brushes that comes with Photoshop.

Step 2 - Adding details using more custom brushes.

Step 3 - begin to add general lighting and color.

Step 4 - add in small light details, as well as a foreground structure to the right to add to a sense of perspective.
