lmao what is this I don't even

I was at work and literally had nothing on the agenda. So I messed around with the google homepage background and found this amazingly breathtaking photo from National geographic. I thought to myself, hell, I need the practice and have some time, so I screencapped the son of a bitch and started to paint it. Well, here's the result. Amazing pass time I have to say; why did no one tell me how incredibly relaxing painting mountains is? I need to do this more often. Seriously, I haven't had this much enjoyment in the painting process in a long time.

Here's the original screencap of google (haha seriously what)

And some close ups of the painting itself:

I dunno, did this in like 6-7 hours? That's a speedpaint by someone's standards.
Anyway, enjoy :)
the original photograph belongs to National Geographic I'm assuming, I take absolutely no credit for that.

I think you gave the painting more justice than the photo itself. The way you painted the mountains made the figures themselves much more defined and focused, while the mountains in the photo don't look as standoffish, or at least from what I can see from my laptop. I like how you made the mountains stand out, basically. Plus, I adore the use of the yellow :) Phenomenal painting, with a very crisp, clean style. Surely better than what I can accomplish. I've only had photoshop for a few years and I'm still in the beginning stages of understanding it :P lol failure
