Default Twin Serpent Mountains

While doing the Halloween quest for today, I was going across Twin Serpent Mountains and realized my screenshot of the region was lost...so I retook it, and at the moment was inspired to paint the scene as well.

Although the scene didn't quite resemble my screenshot, I felt fine with the turnout and will now show it here

Oh man, that looks epic xD.

Only suggestion I might add is you might want to try overlaying some green on the neutral grey. I think the contrast will add a lot to your piece.

resizing is never a great idea, the only thing I can think of is to make the black border larger to match proper desktop resolutions, but then you just get the same picture with alot of black around it :P

Resizing is fun!


Fack. See the lower post for the 19 and 22(?)" monitor resolution. Photobucket is being stupid.

That's what I did, I just resized it to 1680x1050. If you mean larger then 1680x1050, then yea, it'll start degrading really fast. I can't get it to look decent enough to release at 2560x1600, but the 1680x1050 still looks just as fine.

Err...
Crap....
Uhh....

I didn't realize that Photobucket resized that to 800x500.... So... Yea. My bad.

Hmm. This is odd - On my main photobucket (Which I don't like sending out info on) it's at 1680x1050. This one keeps resizing it. I guess I'll just attach it then.
