I'm sorry for the small size
I was a noob when I made this haha.old version: [link]

so I've heard, I'm not a Digital scetch artist, but I have pictures of sceneries kind of similar (but without all the pro-editing kinda style)

Seeeehr starke Stimmung mein lieber. Habe das Bild wohl ΓΌbersehen, als Du es eingestellt hast, aber dann darf ich jetzt nochmal meinen Saft dazu geben. Auf jeden Fall passen die Elemente sehr gut zusammen und die Stimmung ist ganz nach meinem Geschmack. Ganz groΓ.
Beste GrΓΌΓe,
Jack

Beautiful. Although it's so excitingly stormy, the bluish green haze above the trees makes it look so peaceful, like a misty paradise.

Better than the last one. It has cool atmosphere, but it needs more realistic rain, in my humble opinion
But yes, it has better impact.

thanks, I agree, the rain needs work. I can't use the old psd-file anymore though, so I couldn't improve or remove it.

Well done! you know your environment and scenery is just going insane lately!
π: 0 β©: 1
thank you very much! It's actually an old piece which I updated slightly.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes I read that. Same happened with 500 years later. Brilliant, wise, strategic changes! Right on!

Great job. I really like the mood and dark feeling in this one.
The update version is way better then the original version. It has a better feeling. But because you made everything so dark you lost the details on the foreground. Which imo is kinda said since I loved the landscape you made around it.
π: 0 β©: 1
yea, maybe your monitor is a bit darker than mine because I can still see everything. I just thought the old version was rather dull and boring.

thanks dude, I appreciate it

"Thats really nice kire. I dont know but I think the rain could do some more work.
π: 0 β©: 1
yes you're right. It is an old work and I had to work on top of the old file because I wasn't able to use my old psd anymore, that's why the rain is still there. ;(

"Oh. Anyway its still nice.

Looks cool mate. perhaps you should try to bring more lightning onto the ship to let it stand out more.
Great bg!
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks mate, I may consider your suggestions for my next update, if there's going to be one.
π: 0 β©: 1
hehe cool. i'll see it when it's there. or not
π: 0 β©: 1
that's quite a scene! nice work
I just think that the rain lines should be closer.. it seems unrealistic for them to be behind the hills, and still visible
π: 0 β©: 1
yes you're right, the rain definitely needs work. I just wasn't able to improve or remove it because I could not work with my old file. I had to work on top of it.
Thanks for your comment!

I looks really nice. ΒΏYou were noob when you did that? I'm gonna hit you xD

Thanks
