Distant Broken Tower in Blue

Description

Just experimenting with color now, wanted to test a theory about layers acting as "gels" for giving color to a lower layer. I tried using the "colorize" filter, but that didn't really look right.
Initially, I just had the tower, but I thought it needed something more, yet I don't think I'm quite ready to try three layers (besides ones for color), so I added the bridge.
I've had this one piece on the backburner since forever called Castlemap, which features a silhouette of a castle with that kind of bridge leading to it (it's a kind of Castlevania tribute). I also had another one on the to-do list featuring a tower, so I thought now is as good a time as any to see if they still hold up as concepts, which makes this a preview of sorts.

and a closer look:

Last thing: I can't draw trees, apparently. I knew I wanted something to frame the foreground, but instead of doing the smart and sensible thing and make just a hollowed trunk, I made... that thing.

UPDATE: Well, I can't fix the tree, but I can add the fog effects I've been wanting to try. I was going to introduce them in another piece, but the "lack of atmosphere" of this one always bugged me, felt like it needed to be more ominous. I'll post the old version to scraps in a moment, in case anyone wants to adjust their :+fav:s
