Anyway, I picked up neon ninja again:

This is what happens when I have no BG plans. I just start putting down transparent smudges. I think this one might turn into a lighthouse with ninja standing in semi bloody water. Not sure... maybe scyscrapers O_O;;; Any suggestions?
Heck... I'll probably just go lighthouse for no better reason then it's allready kinda there and I can probably cook up a decent BG in under 3 hours. We'll see.

Edit... 30 minutes later.
I blame the spiral into insanity on 3 consecutive cans of cherry coke. This picture brought to you by lighting effects. Thank you lighting effects. Without you, I'd have to plan color and shading strategies in advance. Thank you for making me lazy, yet awesome.

Plans from here: Pop out that tower and start shading things in the foreground. Erase into the lighting effects and paint over it with some saturated color where the glorious filter failed me. Heck, I need to do a lot of painting anyway. Other then the clouds, there's really not much there. It's all up in my head... with all the cherry coke...
Mmmm... smudging...
