Acrylic on sucky paper that wrinkled under the paint.

The quality is pretty bad because I don't have this painting any more. I've sent it to a contest ( I won, yey) and all I have is this pixelated photo D:

I love all the details you did as well as the sparks on the rails. The bus is done really well and it is magnificent. I like how you did the buildings in the background and everything seems to show. I love the reflections on the ground and the clouds in the sunlit sky and makes everyone think it might rain in a second. The power lines seem to be almost invisible with how you did it. I really love this piece because it seems to glow and is full of color. This is very well done and I think it would really do great as a scene in my fanfic that I am planning on making. Good job acreon. I can't wait to see more.
What do you think?

This is a great interpretation of an every day scene, and I love the little details you added, like the red ribbon on the trees, the buildings at the back and the sparks on the rail (although I'm not sure what it's from)

I also really like how you balanced the top half which was really busy with a more spacious bottom half.

I feel in critiques, one should state aspects that could be improved or more thoroughly be explored, but I'm sort of at a loss for words. The only thing is maybe you could have added more misted buildings fading into the horizon. Oh! And if you added roadkill in the middle of the road it would instantly add an even darker atmosphere and could have raised awareness to animals. Just a suggestion.

Also, I'm not quite sure what that pink ribbon/flower like thing is in front of the bus...

And I see a sort of face in the bus which is really creeping me out, but interesting detail. I'm not sure if it was intentional (or if the voices in my head are making fun of me again), but it gives a surreal feel to this piece.

Oh, and I feel like I may have been a little harsh on you in the totoro critique, I don't like being "mean" but I also don't want to be one of those people who just give five stars for everything... (I mean five stars should be like really rare, not just carelessly thrown around) you did give a very interesting feel to a slightly overdone totoro pose, and it had a lot of details in it :)

Lucky you that you were blessed with sucky paper.
Maybe it's just what you needed. (After all, it DID WIN!)
In art school, I did my best work on newsprint. Hand me a $25 sheet
of the best W/C paper...and I'll blow it!
