Hi Nino,
I decided to try to paint something that could potentially be seen as art for a Magic: The Gathering land card. I basically imagined I was briefed to paint a blue land with some sort of structure that could be home to water / weather manipulating mages. Perhaps a bit lame and vanilla fantasy, but I really want to push my landscape / environment work.
I first made a reference board with islands, waters, figures, clouds, rocks, mountains and structures I found myself adding to it as I went on.
Then I made a few small thumbnails just to see what could look cool, what layout I might use.
I picked one of them and started putting in some colour. Initially I struggled a lot but pushed through.

First colour sketch:
And finally where I'm at now:
I had this idea to sort of try to use the clouds and water to somehow bring the viewer's attention to the tower. This is also why the most saturated colours are around the water and on the island itself.
I haven't worked on the tower itself too much yet. I'm also not 100% about the staircase thing, maybe I'm making things hard for myself. Maybe I should scrap that area and just add on some rocky bits there instead...
Looking forward to feedback - I'd like to know how I could push it and what needs fixing.
