I use PaintShop Pro. I draw pretty much free-hand, except I use some of their preshapes, sometimes. On this, I did use a snapline kind of tool for the windows on the "high-rises" because I can't draw a straight line to save my life!
No, no, no, no ... you are making me want to be there ... I like your remotely remote remoteness in your illustration! It would be better if I couldn't see the other hill :)
What a wonderful image. I like the style, the colors and the feel.
By the way: I've just been tagged and I'm tagged you next (hope you don't mind) ... TAG, YOU'RE IT! You have to post 20 random facts about yourself on your blog and then tag as many people as many minutes as it took for you to finish your list. Have fun!
I wanted to thank you for your comment on my remote contribution. I loved the picture you attached to it. I stopped briefly at the Badlands in South Dakota back in 1976. It was late afternoon after a thunderstorm, and they were awesome.
Until Christmas, when everyone in the city came up the hill to get the lonely tree at the same time. This caused the hill to collapse, killing everyone. The city became ruins, and eventually all kinds of plant life- not lonely any more- took it over.
reminds me of that tanks game.. where ya had to adjust speed and angle to hit the other tank.. ironic really considering the theme of the picture and poem.
very nice. i like the way you placed the buildings and trees on the hill (a very different way of doing things.) your poem has a child-like (meaning the simplicity and carefree thought) quality which is also reflected in the style you chose to illustrate. wonderful way to bring the ideas together.

think of it as a berm...remote landscaping.
;)
Excellent idea! No, no no no there you go again ....
I'd love to see this with animated clouds and atari style 'music.' I like the nostalgic feel to this...a happy piece :)
Very cute, has kind of a city mouse/country mouse feel to it. You could live on one hill, vacation on the other!
Great textures going on and wonderful mountains.
Great style. It reminds of one of the early Mario Brothers games.
That should be be a wonderful world !
What a wonderful image. I like the style, the colors and the feel.

seems very different from your previous works. I like the color and texture, and the very interesting curvy mountain xD
Very clever!
I like the little buildings on the hilltop and the ones at the side. Precious!
WOWWWwww!
Ohhhh Excellent!!
I want to live there.
I'd prefer to live on the right hill. Keep up the great work.
i love your illustration, style, colors and graphic composition.

I love the idea and the text.

Yes, remote can connote good things at times. Well done.
Sounds like heaven... can I build my house next to that little tree? :-)
What a great illo! I love the houses on the side of the hill. OOO, Scary place to live. How do you keep the teacups in the cupboard?
love

Great interpretaion of the theme. Although I wouldn't live under the tree 'cause of the midges, them buggers bite y'know.
Can't believe I missed this one last week. Perfect!
