Description The Swamp Concept, shaded and stuff like that. Some things turned out really well here, the trees for instance (I really like the biggest tree in the middle) but due to lack of time I can't make everything fully satisfying. Have a look at the snakes, and you'll see what I mean. There are some more things that could most certainly be improved, but I won't mention them here. I'll let you find them instead.

Thanks and credits to Luiz ( ~kruel84 ) for his help along the way.

Ok, flood me with comments please.

Your landscapes are great. I like your use of light and the whimsicle environment. You'd make a great background artist for illustration and what not. I like these way better than your figures.

As you mentioned, the shading on the trees is quite awesome. Something to be proud of there. The water looks good as well and the slight mist really puts the atmosphere of the piece in the right place

The snake underwater in the top right is a bit.. stilted, and the one at the front is a bit weird. But then, you can put that down to the swamp being a weird place itself ^_^

Overall, incredible work - nice shading on the trees, and great 'feel'

First off im a big fan of the grayscale pics, so kodos for that. textures and perspective on the trees are great too. the snake in the forground kind of bugs me though. but great job nonetheless

Oh wow . . . I think this is the best one out of the scenery series you've been working on lately. There's something so appealing about this . . . maybe how it's meant to look quasi-realistic in a cartoon sort of way, or maybe it's how the ground plane kind of curves and the falloff varies, like a fisheye lens or something. Excellent work

Oh, it looks even better now!

I'll take this in swedish... Det skulle se bättre ut om du gjorde det mörkare längre in. Det skulle dels ge bättre djup till bilden och dessutom skulle man få en känsla av att det är en djup och mystisk skog, man skulle liksom vilja veta vadsom finns där inne och vara lite rädd kanske också. Det skulle passa bra till denna lite mytiska stämmning.
De där ormarna är riktigt läskiga... jag skulle inte gå dit ensam...
