Futurism Artstyle 8 / My Submission and Process
This is my submission for Artstyle 8, the theme of the challenge is Futurism and to use Russia as an inspiration! I have completed this piece using digital painting on a tablet, the software is infinite painter.
I'm not quite sure I pulled off the style, I have never quite tried something like this but I very much enjoyed the challenge. As usual participating in challenges on Steemit has made me push myself to try new things. While looking for an inspiration I googled Russian architecture and came across this cool looking cubist building (both are cool but I chose the one on the right):
Here are the steps of my process, first I did the line work, I didn't document the next step but I duplicated it and overlaid slightly off the original.
Next I started the colouring process, I was kicking myself at this point for making it so complicated.
Now comes the background, I did a line drawing of the sun and rays and started filling them in with patterns and doubled and tinkered with the buildings a bit. The original colour palette has a day look.
Finally I played with the hues and added a slight blur to the background and we are full circle at the final result which has more of a night sky look.
I want to thank @askinya for this challenge it is fun to participate in or just look at the results because it brings out so much creativity in people. Here is the contest, come join or take a look :) https://steemit.com/artstyleart8/@aksinya/8th-artstyleart-theme-announcement-futurism-moscow-or-russia-35-sbd-to-give-away#comments

Wow this is beautiful:)
Thank you it is certainly outside of my normal style but I might explore it more!
I like the background design a lot, although I think the day version is better. I can't put my finger on what it reminds me of.
The day version definitely pops a bit more because of the color contrast I guess, I went back and forth between the two, every step is such a hard decision :)
That is awesome!
Thanks errymil :-)
This is brilliant art! 🎨
(^o^) thanks!
