“Living On Antaries” Photoshop Painting by Nicole Barker
“Living On Antaries” is a massive panoramic view sitting on the top of the tallest tower of an alien world I conceptualized and named Antaries. The digital painting mixes a gritty over-populated city feel with organic sculptural elements and light patterns which add movement to the piece. This is one of my older Photoshop paintings which I completed years ago, but then brought back to alter it considerably after receiving some constructive feedback. Mainly, I took out a human character in the foreground which felt out of place, and really filled out the background substantially to show complexity throughout and add depth.
Any and all feedback is very much appreciated.

Wow, I love these! Beautiful and fluid, and original!
Thanks for all the kind words! I found it pretty difficult to create a cityscape that I felt was original.
