Jo Kariboo WIP road

[Jo Kariboo]

I began this image with "desert road" of dandel'O. I try recreate the light at the beginning of the day on spring season.
vegetations: dune and x-frog
sasha: I download the human figure at this link. Where are the file?  Actually I don't retrace it

I have any idea if I am illigible by using the file of someone else, but as I said previously I don't know how create a realist road!

A other one and for the following ones I go tried some thing of very different ! Just for fun !!!   

[Oshyan]

I think you've got a very good start! I like the soft lighting in the distance and the road retreating into the mist. There's an odd black shape on the road in the foreground, is that a "worn" road, or a tree shadow, or what? Other than that, I think you're heading in the right direction. The shadowy figure in the distance is very cool.

[Jo Kariboo]

Thank you Oshyan for your comment. For the black shape, sincerly I don't know, but it's not a shadow. I try to remove it.

a other WIP !

[Tangled-Universe]

Nice one Jo I like the sense of scale here as well as the clouds and lighting.
Two things for improvement come to my mind, if I may, first the road looks a bit unused perhaps and secondly the stones could  use some work.

[Jo Kariboo]

Thank you T-U for your comments and your direction for the observation! 

[Dune]

Agree with Martin. Maybe also give the larger stones some patchy occurrence, or piles, not as spread as this. But I really like the bluish misty background. How did you get the blue into there? Increase blue sky density or change the color of the haze?

[Jo Kariboo]

Thank you Dune for your suggestion. I reduce actually the quantity of fakestone. The haze is grey but I increase the blue sky density at 3.5 .

[otakar]

Nice setup. I like the view in the distance.

[zaxxon]

A very nice landscape, the color pallette is especially pleasing.

[cyphyr]

Great image and I agree about the cool colour palate.

[TheBadger]

Really like this leap forward!

Agree the gravel path should be broken up a bit. But great looking render already!

[Jo Kariboo]

Old abandoned country road. I change the POV and the road etc.
Thank for comments and critics.
