No matter how much I try, I can never get back to my freerunning days. Not that it was any better, intrusion into property would get me arrested, and landing wrongly on someone's corrugated roof and I might land in their bathroom, and trouble.
WARNING: Parkour / Freerunning is a potentially dangerous activity that requires years of experience; and you're no instant-Foucan so don't go roof-hopping immediately. Miss a landing and the next time you see the sky is from ground level, with your neck twisted to face your back; and earn yourself a big fat Darwin Award. I'm no discouraging parkour, but don't be like the morons on Jackass.
Like all extreme sports, take it one step at a time. And be prepared to get hurt, A LOT. Pain is part of your learning experience.

So... this is an extreme sport that's basically urban mountain-goating across rooftops? I've never heard of it.
As for the pic... your attention to detail is amazing as always. I seriously need to learn to draw backgrounds. I see the twin towers in the background (their name escapes me at the moment, but I recognize them).
One question. Do you lay out the perspective of things as I'm being taught to do in my perspective class, or do you not bother and just do things by eye?

I do by eye, because I'm too lazy to plot out accurate points and being anal about it puts more work to freehand art. If it feels right, that's all that matters.

I am aware of free running, there is a local group here in the city that made it onto a couple of commercials recently. The artwork is great, as someone who took technical architectural drawing in my high school industrial ed course. Spending years perfecting the technique, you have done well in rendering the background in this picture.
I also love the recent Anubis pictures you did, but for this picture you deserve a watch.
Boink!

Ever told you I Hate/Envy/gentinspiredby your absolute domain of scene and perspective?
I absolutely love roofts, every time I can I look on them, when can find a very safe place
Oh my god, I remember now that freerunning stuff, do you say you actually used to practice it?
I envy you twice

Holy sheot! I've always been a HUGE admirer of free runners, that looks like so much fuggin fun, tho i gotta figure not plotting our a path thuroughly does sound pretty damn dangerous. But that just makes it even more awesome!! XD
