This is kind of old, but I was very happy with it for some reason. It is the background I painted for Kaare Andrews' "Xin: Legend of the Monkey King #3" cover. You can see his full cover here: [link]
ah, background backgrounds. surroundings. when others go for realism surroundings or everythings equals death. socar goes for swirly twirlyness, ever over lost in detail, instead of being pissy 'it looks too realistic, it just looks realistic, nothing else' damp tones damp tones, heh, only remember seeing them in photos these days. the fog the smoke the...exploison smoke?, has a character of its own!
i have a reason to llive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
