Tokoshie/Kosi has changed a bit. I've hated her for a long time. I still don't like her and don't think I ever will, but some characters are like that maybe? But her change has been in vague development for a while. This image is the start of portraying that.
This wouldn’t even have gotten this far if it wasn’t for Marz. After I had the background blocked in and the colors set, he put in all these wonderful details into the background that just tied everything together and really gave the picture a sense of post-apocalypse. It’s what I really wanted with this. Even after he handed the file back over to me and I started making more adjustments, he still had a lot of good tips to offer, which I used. Really thought I was going to scrap this. Had lost all interest in it until he jumped in.
The ref I used was for the city BG: http://sciencelakes.com/data_images.....ity-sunset.jpg
Lines, BG base and colors done by me. Fine details, lighting and totally making the place look destroyed done by my bro Marz.

Just needed to pop in and say just how beautiful I think this piece is. It's so hard to get atmospheric settings to look right and I think you did a lovely job. The back lighting is really well done, and definately gives the appropriate feeling for the start of sunset.
Also I just had to comment on how I like the character's look. I know you're still working on it but I really love the sort of love green scaled patches. They look like this sort of almost crystal substance, or some sort of mildly translucent horn of sorts, and I think it just looks great!
