Title: The Valley WIP
Post by: RogueNZ on May 04, 2009, 09:55:44 PM
Something Ive been working on. I'm happy with the atmosphere, just need to work on the terrain and trees. Does anyone have any ideas for what i could do, like what trees to use and if i should have cliffs showing, or maybe a river? Thanks for viewing.

Hi there

I think the clouds look a bit too "solid" but I like their colouring etc. I love the vegetation , it looks really good. It may be worth trying to get more defined gaps on the hillsides in the midground and darken the grass showing through a bit (all personal preference) Nice work  ;D

I agree with mr-miley.

I like the colors and point of view.  For what it is, it's nice.  It's not realistic, but the spread and contrast make it interesting.

I completely agree. Vegetation and clouds look good, though the clouds could use some more contrasts. It might be interesting to restrict the trees a little bit more on the hills to give it a more natural look.
The most important thing for improving this image is the lighting I think. There are very very little shadows in the picture and the lighting looks therefore very harsh.
I'd lower the suns angle a bit and set it more to the right of the image. The lighting will become more dramatic, giving nicer colors and emphasizes the depth even more.
