Smokin' Aces

Introducing Darwin Tremor - a kick-ass scene from Carnahan's "Smokin' Aces", which altogether is somewhat of the kick-ass-like.

I've just realised that I haven't done some touch-ups I originally intended to do once I'd finished the clouds in the BG. But... I forget. Anyway, very chuffed with this - especially as I used absolutely no image adjustments concerning contrast or colour - it's all "painted" so to speak; no cheating! I really wanted to improve my use (and understanding) of colour. The only help I gave to myself were downloaded textured brushes I used for the clouds - but I can't remember who from, so apologies, apologies!

Photoshop CS2; it took around one evening (I'd say around 3-4 hours). Please do not take or mutilate without permission!!!
