Kinda reminds me the concept art of Guild Wars 2, and I love it!

limbothedonkey Featured By Owner Jan 6, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

this looks like concept art...because.

Gribbiy Featured By Owner Oct 9, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Simply divine and beautiful. I really like your styling. That smudgy technique is beautiful and awe-inspiring. I really like the silhouettes as to keep those watching to wonder who the ponies are. Fluttershy mane and RD?

Very good job. √

Karzahnii Featured By Owner Oct 9, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yes, those are the two ponies.

Gribbiy Featured By Owner Oct 9, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Do you know of any more awesomely epic backgrounds like this?

kennuhisaki Featured By Owner Aug 17, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Hey I just wanna say I FREAKING LOVE HOW YOU DREW THIS!!

Seriously i've been admiring it forever now. Could you possibly tell me what program or brush type you used to get the brush to look like that!?

Karzahnii Featured By Owner Aug 18, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Paint Tool SAI, default brushes.

stupidyou3 Featured By Owner Jul 22, 2012 Student Digital Artist

For a sketch.....it looks like it isn't one, quite professional. So cool, what brushes do you use? Because I've been scouring the internet to find that kind of brush....

Karzahnii Featured By Owner Jul 22, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

All the brushes I use are ones that are default to Paint Tool SAI. You just have to play around with the settings a bit.

stupidyou3 Featured By Owner Jul 22, 2012 Student Digital Artist

What?! Really?! Now I feel stupid.......thank you

Personally, I enjoy this sketch over your newest work, probably just because it's darker, and I'm just one for darker weather (I.E rain and storms)

MorbidlyElectrifying Featured By Owner Jul 6, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Really nice! may I use this in the artwork for a song I made? I'll give credit.

Karzahnii Featured By Owner Jul 6, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Go ahead!

It's strange, at least two people have asked this. It seems to go well with music.

MorbidlyElectrifying Featured By Owner Jul 6, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Actually, nevermind someone else has used it

Karzahnii Featured By Owner Apr 11, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Cool, thanks for adding credit!

DerpyDash98 Featured By Owner Apr 11, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Can I use this if I give credit?

aliasface Featured By Owner Apr 8, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Would you mind if I used this for an album cover of mine (that will be released gradually)?

Karzahnii Featured By Owner Apr 8, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I think someone has already used it as an image for a song on Youtube, but feel free to use it anyway!

aliasface Featured By Owner Apr 8, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Would you also mind if I modified it some (while giving you credit for the original, of course)?

Karzahnii Featured By Owner Apr 8, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

No problem, if credit is still given then it's all good.

aliasface Featured By Owner Apr 8, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you very much!

But with all great things comes great responsibility -
That of Cloudsdale's being
weather stability;
'How,' you ask,
'are they up to the task?'
To which the answer
is a simple facility...

(I've never read the "Rainbow Factory" fanfic, nor intend to, but the song that inspired it is awesome.

Derroflcopter Featured By Owner Jan 28, 2012

That is just... beautiful.

Pegasus ponies are my favorites.

Horsesnhurricanes Featured By Owner Jan 4, 2012

That's beautiful.

Furluvs Featured By Owner Dec 12, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I love this work!

anzul Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2011

what first coment say!!!!

Tanto Featured By Owner Aug 17, 2011

For some reason this reminds me of Guild Wars 1 - 2 concept art. Weird.

evilglen Featured By Owner Aug 15, 2011 Interface Designer

So calm. Ah, why can't I have widescreen version...

Karzahnii Featured By Owner Aug 15, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Sorry! I'll do these in larger resolution next time.

Freefox Featured By Owner Aug 14, 2011

amazing just amazing

13light Featured By Owner Aug 14, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Wow, that is really awesome. Great work!

gargargarrick Featured By Owner Aug 14, 2011 Student Digital Artist

Whellp, now I have a new wallpaper for the foreseeable future! Thankies.

Kujiiro Featured By Owner Aug 14, 2011

Abstract. I like it.

scorch238 Featured By Owner Aug 12, 2011

I really like backgrounds. A lot. Wow.

ArtStude3n2 Featured By Owner Aug 12, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

WOW
This reminds me of the dark artstyle, concept sketches back in Epic Mickey.
Except, this pic is filled with light and wonder and mystery.

Zarryberry Featured By Owner Aug 12, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous ouo

SyrinKitty Featured By Owner Aug 11, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Wow. Your art style is simply amazing. You've definitely got a new watcher!

1nfy Featured By Owner Aug 11, 2011

It's so beautiful! I really love this style! Insta-new-desktop-background... but then 1024*768... :[

Karzahnii Featured By Owner Aug 12, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I should do these in higher resolution, shouldn't I?

By the way, what's your Steam ID? Because I have this feeling I've played TF2 with you.

1nfy Featured By Owner Aug 12, 2011

Oh if you make more like this and make them in a higher resolution I would be soooo happy!

Hooray for TF2!! I'm kinda terrible but it's so much fun. My steam id is "∞" :] I know there is at least one other person using my image as their avatar who plays often on the pony server.

Karzahnii Featured By Owner Aug 14, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Won't let me paste that symbol! Can't...add..!

But yeah, I probably did mix you up with someone.

1nfy Featured By Owner Aug 14, 2011

Oh no!!! Well can you add me from my profile? Here: [link] Otherwise send me yours and I can try adding you :]

samutoka Featured By Owner Aug 11, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

DIS I LIKE!

samutoka Featured By Owner Aug 11, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Okay, now that keyboardspew is out of the way, I'd just like to elaborate that I have a thing for cityscapes, and I love the impressionistic take this has on Cloudsdale. There's a real sense of perspective and depth with the rising columns in the mixed shadows and light.
