Not really much to say about this, its a straight forward colorization. I couldn't tell if that was grass or dirt at the bottom, so I mixed both in.
I wanted to create a magical look, and the sky was clearly in sunset, you can just barely see the side lights on the buildings, though there seems to be a block against the guys, as they have no shadow at all. I used a combo of stars and a sunset to make the sky. I have seen this combo before so its a real thing.
Originally I was going to add the typical star you see in these scenes, and in those same scenes there is often a cast of light shining down. But no matter what I tried, it looked idiotic. So I scrapped that and used a comet brush I found a while back and that seems to fit better.
