@davidrevoy Vous vous entĂȘtez Ă  utiliser Linux, Krita et autres logiciels libres. Vous n’avez pas Ă©coutĂ© la madame de l’autre jour?

(Beau travail en passant. Je dĂ©fie la madame de l’autre jour de faire la mĂȘme chose avec Adobe, parce que mine de rien, ce n’est pas juste le logiciel, l’artiste compte quand mĂȘme un peu
)

@davidrevoy Am I weird for thinking the second picture in the series is the nicest one?

The final version is really good, don't take me wrong, but there is something about the roughness of the second one that is just appeals to me.

@loke Thank you for enjoying the sketch! I'm training recently on leaving more and more large part of the canvas sketched in the final version (eg. foreground/background). Maybe with time I'll be confident enough to not overdetail too much part of the illustration. â˜ș

@davidrevoy Really nice image, I love it. But the rainbow at night in the last version feels wrong. But I just discovered that moonbows exist: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonbow

@supertobi Hey, I respect what you feel about it.

In my part of the south of France, after a big rain and storm with dark clouds − especially in the end afternoon − it's dark enough down the street to get the street light mechanism on while still having bright light in distance over the clouds.
I thought it was also a good way to symbolize a breach of nature and hope in this dark manmade landscape.
The artwork being after rain symbolizes that: a new hope for brighter times.

@davidrevoy Thanks for you explanation, now I understand your image much better. I think the street lights here in northern Germany just have timer. Perhaps that's the reason for my confusion.
