UPDATE
After last posting, I added the middle-ground Night-Market and the fore-ground buildings. Although there were repeated elements in the foreground, everything was originally painted / penned. This matte painting is actually incorporated into a Motion Graphics piece I recently finished. For more info on the Motion piece, pls check out my Journals section.

This is a concept I'm currently developing for a Manga story I'm working on. Though no actual photo materials are used for this painting, it is strongly inspired by the beautiful Taipei City with the towering Taipei 101.

The Manga is called Serene City.

I want to have a drink right there! Rick Deckard style.
Very beautifully done. Great atmosphere!

What's cool is that I can see some line work poking through here and there, and yet overall it's so convincing, its almost photographic.

No problem! :D Kind of weird there aren't more comments on this one. It's really fantastic! But excellent job nevertheless.
Gives me the same feeling as a beautiful mind-blowing background from stuff like Mass Effect 2...
It feels lived in.

Rob - thank you for your sharing. Sorry I've been away for so long, but just want to say I'm deeply touched by your comment. This was actually inspired by the city of my birth - Taipei. While this city is designed from scratch, the colors of this night skyline is heavily drawn from this little known city.
