From the Battletech card game, Wizards of the Coast, 1997. One of two paintings I did of the Cicada, neither of them turned out that great, but at least the colors on this one are less embarassing.
Still blows my skills away. This is still the type of skill level I am trying to achieve. I loved the artwork of the Cicada 'Mech cards you had done back in the day, even if they were crappy units.
Ha! I've actually seen a few articles online complaining about that. Mind you, I've recently been playing "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning", and all the bright primary colors kind of hurt me...
You need a sort of happy balance. Red Alert 3 was pretty loud, too, when I played its Beta. I'd point out Doom (yeah, it's nearly 20 years old now) which had a good balance of desaturation and bright colors so you could see everything clearly.
