Thanks everyone!
@Joshua Lamusga Thank you for the feedback and image! I see now where I went wrong and I'll try to make it more like that next time.

Here's a new scene for a new month, this one entitled "Scrapyard".

Much obliged, all!

It took some time, but I think I finally managed to make a good aurora-borealis/northern lights effect in Paint.NET!

Kind thank you, everyone!

It's another Saturday, so it's time another scene. I think this one is one of my more realistic ones. I call it "Seaside Wreck" or "Salvage"

Continuing onward with the space theme, here's one I've wanted to illustrate for some time now, some technicians repairing an antenna on another planet.

@Pixey Thank you! That must have been quite the trip!
@LionsDragon In a way it is! But it's more of a robot spider/crab. Inspired somewhat by the Tachikomas from Ghost in The Shell.
@Seerose Thank you very much!
@lynxster4 Thank you for your kind words!

With the recent talk of creating a US Space Force™ dedicated specifically to space based operations, I felt inspired to make a scene of something that we'll perhaps see in the distant future.

Here's a little scene inspired by the Kowloon walled-city. It's a bit like the one I made a few months ago entitled Favelas.

It's been awhile since I've posted here, but I'm still making scenes, just a bit slower.
Here's one for the weekend, inspired by the movie Das Boot.

Thank you everyone!
@SeeroseThe animation has a total of 128 frames recorded at a speed of 30 FPS.
@Joshua Lamusga I'm not sure if it fully qualifies, as the trees in the foreground are silhouettes, and technically the tank has some lighting highlights on its turret. I'll have to give it another shot, I think.

It's been a bit of awhile, but I'm back! Here's a new scene for February.

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!
It's a new year, and so of course there will be new drawings. Here's the first piece of 2018, an animated one.
Alternate link if it doesn't load: https://blastwaves.deviantart.com/art/Full-Speed-Ahead-725342812
While this scene wasn't animated with Paint.NET, everything else was done with it. The tanks, shrubs, ground, clouds, background, dust clouds, and tank animation frames were all done by hand in PDN, and it was then put into Game Maker: Studio and animated with the editor.

On 12/28/2017 at 12:26 AM, Joshua Lamusga said:The deep lavender to purple sunset is a gorgeous hue. Just looking at it is a serene experience.
Challenge: I challenge you to make a realistic scene with drab lighting. It won't have silhouettes or high contrasts, and can't have a strong color theme without breaking realism. It's hard for most people and I can't do it really, so I think as most of your artwork takes advantage of contrasts and color schemes, this may prove to help you develop your ability to portray realism.Thanks Joshua!
It sounds like a pretty hard challenge, I think I'll try doing it in 2018. No silhouettes or high contrasts will definitely be quite difficult.

Here's one last piece for 2017! This time, we're going to space.

I felt my previous scene set in Rio oozed a bit too much despair as @lynxster4 said, so here's a much brighter scene for the weekend. Still experimenting with colors and trying to get my scenes to look more realistic.
https://blastwaves.deviantart.com/art/Dusk-Planning-720351750
I think this one goes pretty well with this music too.

Excellent @BlastWave
This one oozes despair... But I want to know what they're doing in that building that they need those big guns??
Thank you Lynxster! As for why they need such heavy fire-power, perhaps it's just a deterrent or them being prepared for anything.

Great perspective in the way the shanty town is laid out too
Thanks Welshblue!

All the details in the background are great. A wonderful job pieces. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you very much Seerose!
On 11/22/2017 at 11:44 AM, Pixey said:@BlastWave - those 4 VW combies are just beautiful
. I also just noticed the submarine, which is very realistic. Love those bubbles. And this latest one is another masterpiece. The trees, the building, the weapons ..... all excellent
Thanks Pixey! I'm glad you like it.
Here's a quick piece I did of some guardsmen observing the morning fog over a bridge. Inspired by the Charles bridge in one of my favorite locations around the world: Prague.

And happy (late) Thanksgiving everyone!

Here's a new scene. I wanted to do some experimenting with foliage and weathering, and for awhile now do something related to Brazil and Rio de Janeiro, so I present a scene fittingly entitled "Favelas"!

Yup - you can tell it's in Europe .............. all that pea soup fog
.
Seriously - this is an amazing piece. So realistic - you did great
. Love the VW combie as well
Thank you Pixey! Since you liked the VW, here it is separate from the scene so you can see it in its full glory.

Thanks Andrew!
It'd be probably be a bit over-powered and would get nerfed after a week in the game.On 10/21/2017 at 11:17 PM, LionsDragon said:Oh wow...it looks like a photo! @BlastWave, you need to have a chat with my hubby @DragonsLion. He loves Cold War history.
Thank you LionsDragon!

Do tanks really look like big spiders? My immediate thought was 'War of the Worlds'. Excellent work!
In this universe, they certainly do! And thank you!
On 10/28/2017 at 11:14 PM, Ego Eram Reputo said:Morning Patrol has been promoted to the Galleria. Congratulations @BlastWave!
Thanks Ego Eram Reputo and @Josh L for the suggestion! I really appreciate it.
Here's today's scene. After watching a documentary on submarines, I thought it would be fun to make a scene of a submersible, after a few hours I came up with this:

Here's today's scene, inspired by various images of the British army's Berlin Infantry Brigade during the Cold War and the Berlin wall. Their tanks had an unusual urban camouflage pattern which I tried my best to recreate.

@LionsDragon Thanks! I am not in the military nor have served in it, but I spend a significant amount of time studying various photographs of military vehicles when designing these to make them as detailed as possible.
@TrevorOutlaw Thank you for your kind words.
Here's a scene I call "Hold The Line" where two heavy combat hardsuits of the 9th Mobile Guard Corps fight off some invading martian forces on the surface of Mars in the middle of the night.
Here's one of the suits separate from the scene, alongside a space infantryman for scale.

Here are two fighter jet profiles I made a few weeks back, I think I'm going to do a few more of these soon.

Very nice! They remind me of sharks ready to strike
Thank you! They do look a bit like sharks, now that I look at them.
