I decided to do keep the colors loose on this one, no flats. It was really relaxing. Plus I got to indulge my love of dramatic night time city lighting, which I haven't done since I was working on Hack/Slash.
Very nice! I have yet to really actively use Photoshop CS4 and recently switched to Corel Painter 11. It looked very Corel-like so it's why i asked . Anyway, again, beautiful job.
