Look what the Sonoran wind just blew in!

Careful when you start adding cast shadow and occlusion shadow you should find those shadow across every object not just a few of them.

I tried something different i am not sure dawn is the right moment to set the seen midnight seem more fitting.

Your paint-over and suggestions are sooo good.  I LOVE 'em! 

I've written before that I've restarted digital painting and 'color' more recently (over the last year and a half or so) and know I'm still a little timid and overly conservative with it.

I'm working on a new piece and will try to add some of the concepts you demonstrated here — and since I'm a little burned out on this one I'll let it rest for a bit — but plan to tackle it again and I'm going to try and incorporate all of your great ideas!! 

BTW I read your paint-over as a night-time piece and think that suits exactly what seems to fit the feel I'd go after; Love the idea of the torch too.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help make this a better image!
