Hey Noah, one thing I struggle with is the middleground in paintings, the front, and back I can do, but it's the area inbetween for which I can never get the correct 'distance'. For example when I want to make a person (forground) looking at a huge scale object/city, my pieces look really flat instead of should someine looking at this huge city (like in you're painting). Any tips?

[noahbradley]

@CountSnafu Getting the right atmospheric perspective is key for nailing distance. Layering things all the way to the background really pushes it back. And then... just practice, practice, practice.

Ooo, you're selling the videos too. Nom nom!

Are they straight recordings or is there any narration?

[noahbradley]

@OrbitalGamesUK They're recorded livestreams, so I do some talking and answer questions people had that day while watching. So there's some partial narration. :)

I assume the dislike was due to jealousy?

[noahbradley]

@OrbitalGamesUK I can hope so. :)
