I've been going around as a writer, but started getting drawn into Concept Art and 3D modeling. I'm currently finishing my studies as a 3D artist and will then be let loose on the world. Beware!

Uhh. Impressive work man!
Looking awesoome!
speedpaint. I kinda like the atmosphere. I just wanted to picture the hotel and its environment.
I don't know how you speedpaint with such accuracy and great line quality. Not to mention color.
It's simple, really. The hotel I took from a photo and added the rest - which doesn't look as neatly as the hotel. Then you just need a basic understanding of color and light and you start painting over with the biggest brushes possible.
I also use a variety of different layer types, mostly solid color(on overlay), color, multiply or screen layers. It's something between painting and matte painting, where you have to be much more accurate about the samples.
Using layer types is one of the best ways to blend your designs. I love using them just to experiment.
Have you done any Photoshop tutorials?
