He meant the brown haze and fog. Smog = smoke + fog. The smoke from the fire is getting into the fog, making smog.

I believe smog is simply a term used to refer to crappy air. Just ask Toxicskylines (hence the name). I'm still trying to wrap my head around the stunning amount if pictures (and scenery).

Yep...but it isn't exactly manhattan. I thought the skyline was too plain, and so...I added the Burj Dubai, the ICC, a skyscraper from LA, and some random AIA building from hong kong. Also some unidentified buildings there... :)

Sentinel182 wrote:nice ideas, but a bit of constructive critique:

when you colour with pencil, its always best to colour in one direction; it keeps the colouring more clean and graphic, in a way. plus, make sure the pencil is sharp hehe

besides that, pencil is often a bad tool for colouring; i would recommend something like watercolour paint, acrylic paint or since youve scanned it, you could throw it into photoshop or a similar program and add more solidity to the colouring of things.
Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm not that good with photoshop, unfortunately. I only know how to make text and special effects on it. However, I will try coloring in one way and making sure the pencil is sharp, but I was on a tight schedule, as it was due the day after I finished it. But still, thanks, and I will try improve according to that.

I meant the game 'cause he drew a Halo character. And all the rest would make bad ass characters and weapons for any FPS.
