The last image I completed, though it was the third that I started work on, probably the most successful of the the batch I tried to work in what I'd learned from experimenting with color and texture in the earlier pieces.

Background: Two scouts look out over the ruins of an imperial city from the top of a tall structure on its outskirts, a largely intact citadel stands at it center. Fires burn in several places, their source a mystery from this distance, an enormous crater can also be seen on the far side of the citadel.
