Description Needed another landscape/environment in my portfolio. So I whipped this jungle ruins scene since I love the whole idea and look of ruins in a landscape. Experimented a lot with this.

2014. Miranda Leek. Do not use, steal, etc.

Ah, yes. The civilization of my ancestors before me. I love how you drew the serpent god Quezalcoatl.

i gotta bug you, the plant life doesn't look quite accurate. I really like this, the lighting the way you use it to give depth and focus to the painting, love it! but the plants make me think of a forest, not a jungle. the stringy leaves make me think of swamp. The ferns are good but there small. This plant like looks more like its takes out of lord of the rings than the pre-colombian jungle with larger and exaggerated plant life and much broader leaves. Β I love your creativity with the eel that's suppose to be a play off the feathered dragon? It looks headily inspired by the water dog salamander.

so uh enough buggers, i love it, it was really well executed, I have a lit of trouble getting my trees and backgrounds to look real and have as great a light transition as you did here. I dunno. I hope you don't take any of that personally <3 Β

Love the detail on this, you've done a bang up job with the perspective. The texture is also great. I think because of this thought the pyramid in the back looks kinda out of place. I figure you wanted it to be hazy cause its in the background but i think maybe its a little TOO rough, especially when compared with the rest of the picture. Great job on the lighting too by the way.

I love Mayan ruins. This is lovely and neat how you mixed the different ones together. I had the pleasure to visit Chichen Itza last year. I moved this to featured on American Artist.

Beautiful. I love the color scheme and your use of light and shadow to give it the "glowing" effect.

i like the Ornaments and the left Temple Looks great.Β  .. but dont you think there is something wrong with the right one? His right side confuses me. Actually the whole temple looks like you lost patience with this Picture and drew it relly quick. ^^ It s actually sad, because the rest of the Image is really awsome. I love overgrowen Ruins, they reΒ always a great Motive

Yeah, I do have to do some touch ups with the far temple. Actually the one that I was referencing had a bit of a strange shape. Of course I can't have the furthest temple overdoing the one before it that's closer to the viewer. I might make it more transparent and blur it more since it's the furthest object in this picture.

Cool pic.


I know this sounds stupid, but it reminds me of a Counter Strike map.

Actually I want to clarify something about my previous comment. You're a professional artist. Not that I am not a professional writer.Β
