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!

Actually I was beginning to paint in lights but then my always present drive to paint let me down. I'm just keeping it like this for now.
yet another great rendering! It looks more purple than gray, but I really like it. I even like the "bloom" effect you are using on the lights.
Thanks man! Since this is entirely painted in values and I put a solid color layer on top of it I can change the color to anything I want. This purple mood was really a quick decision. In fact this was one of my faster paintings and took less than two hours to complete.
the ability to change colors on-the-fly is pretty cool. Faster or not faster, its really good and very detailed.
Do you use "Shift" alot to keep your lines straight?
In this one yeah, I did use shift a lot. Usually I avoid it, because lines tend to become to stale and color too monotonous if you paint like that. Generally, I see a difference now between drawing and painting. Drawing is about contrast and often about showing expression though line-style. Painting is about color contrast and shape. If I paint I try to get rid of lines to avoid slipping into drawing motion.
I find drawing is heavily based on shape and form as well actually. Line of action, line weights, tones/contrast, and more area all important for a good drawing.
Once you lose reliance on the line and begin to exclusively paint, getting shapes is more important then anything, and with a little contrast, our minds can figure the rest out with far less work.
I'm sure you've heard of the great GoodBrush? If not I can direct you to some of his finest works!
