Thanks! Glad you like it! Long time no see (read err). I checked your last landscape, the castle. I like the design and composition. Maybe try bringing in some warmer colors and a little character for some more scale. You did a nice job with rocks, is that a custom brush or texture overlay?

Sentoki In reply to Nrekkvan [2010-11-22 14:50:31 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yes ! I have not been on in such a long time.
Your work is looking amazing
Yes, I think I like things being dark and dismal...
Thank you ^-^ I used a texture/stock image and a custom brush on top to get that effect.
I'm not sure where I would put a character, where do you think?

Nrekkvan In reply to Sentoki [2010-11-22 14:54:15 +0000 UTC]

One of the bottom corners. You might have to balance the rest of the image a bit afterwards for composition to work properly. Foreground / midground trees or whatever.

Ohh yes that is a very good idea
thank you ^-^
I used a lot of reference for this one, I hope that I can do one without next time

Nrekkvan In reply to Sentoki [2010-11-22 15:40:47 +0000 UTC]

By all means do use references, just don't copy the entire thing. I don't use them because I found it boring, not because it's something you shouldn't do.

Here is a quick overpaint of your cool concept, look for lightning, composition elements and the character. At least you get to see how I paint a dragon in 30 seconds. Hope you like it.

For being done in only two hours, this is very impressive indeed. I like the tree in the foreground the most, I think. The mystic city is also pretty cool.

I'm glad you see it as a mystic city! I actually paid very little attention to how I was doing that part of the picture. Thanks

It's not exactly blurry, but some of the brushstrokes in the foreground are a little too big for my personal tastes.

Besides that, good job.

Nrekkvan In reply to Dementedsnake [2010-10-28 21:27:28 +0000 UTC]

I think I didn't mind the blurriness because the foreground is mostly way out of focus. Thanks a lot for your continuous feedback!

Your landscapes are really great. You're awesome at creating a sense of depth and size.

As I've said before, I'd love to see a bit more detailed characters in your paintings!
