Wasteland Landscape, digital painting

[Wingless]

After watching a few videos of artists speedpainting landscapes on Photoshop, I got inspired to try my hand at it myself. Now, I've never done any sort of traditional painting whatsoever, this is my first try at seriously trying to create a landscape.

Here is the first version of my landscape, just created a basic shape out of several strokes of paint:




After an hour and a half of working on it:



I'll probably continue to work on it to flesh out more details, I always seem to see something missing every time I open it up again.

Nice. I'm apparently so bad at landscapes, my grandma told me to never do them ever again.

I like it. What kind of look are you going for? The second picture is really interesting, like something I've seen in a video game.

I guess I was going for a apocalyptic look, something that would resemble a polluted, barren landscape.
I was also partly inspired by some of the levels in Sonic CD, which included "bad future" stages, basically corrupted, polluted versions of the original levels in the game (such as a bright jungle turned into a polluted industrial zone).
