Nothing unusual

Original note:
"Haven't painted/uploaded anything for a while, sorry about that thing. I at first planned to paint this with watercolours, but the large blue/green areas would probably look rather stupid, since I don't know how to do them properly with watercolours. I've been playing Warcraft III a lot lately, which explains probably the look of the city. Somehow I enjoy meteors destroying stuff. :D
3 hours with Paint.NET (heh, I should get photoshop if I plan to continue to paint on computer)
I am somewhat proud of this one, because it was made with Paint.NET and without any kind of tablet."
I remember listening to the Spirit Engine 2 soundtrack by Josh Whelchel and sketching this in my room while my parents were away, haha. Even at the time I was somewhat aware that the forests didn't end up looking very great, but it did feel like a coolly ambitious project overall. I think the meteor looks pretty nifty, even now! The Warcraft 3 influence is pretty visible in the city design.
