New Cover for The Gate

So Rob and I are putting together The Gate(a short story collection we have) with new illustrations and a new cover. It's one of the first man-made environments I've worked on in such a long time and it caused me a few headaches, which is funny since it's only 1-point perspective. I used some tricks I'd learned from some of the fine tutorials put out by Massive Black and although it felt awkward at first I know it'll only get easier as I utilize them more.

So here is a truncated view of the progression. I still have a ways to go as far as rendering is concerned, and may end up revamping the figure entirely, but so far I'm having fun with it.
