Behold Crestop Haven in Development

So i basically wanted to show my process from first scanned copy to "final" draft.


I started with altering the colors a bit to make it look richer, then i liquefied it to fix certain imperfections as well as a bit of patchwork to make the sky smoother:

...then i messed a lot with hue and saturation of each individual color as well as shadows and the texture of the sky:
...the last finishing (or alternative) touches were just messing with the train to make it pop a bit more as well as the color of the sky to look more sunrise-ish:
This last one i'm not sure about because the sun was done in photoshop and i'm afraid it takes away from the original and becomes too stylized; either way i wanted to add it.

not finished yet obviously but so far...

Prism City Station












May be a bit redundant but basically, to show you the type of shit i could do on photoshop. 1: I can modify the image so if i'm not happy with how certain things came out i can modify later. 2: There is the option of also fixing small mistakes i make color wise- watercolor is tricky and unpredictable. 3: i can use my vanish points more efficiently so i can put posters or objects that need adding. i can also do something similar to add shadow people which i'll definitely do.
Although as far as adding specific objects i'm going to refrain form doing them digitally so it looks more natural. posters on the image are just examples. H:re are the images before and after so you can see what i mean:





























First one is the original but here you go:
