Another environment practice.
This one i went trough the process of working on values first, and then painting it afterwards...Really hard, but it helps the eye a little bit, i can post the process later if you guys want to.
Anyway, liked the results!

Digital-Mastery Critique
I can tell that you worked in a gray scale before color, because the values are really well done. They're crisp and with a nicely strong contrast that enhances the environment. Blues and oranges go very well together, and the transition is done quiet well. Additionally, the hint of a building in the distance helps create a sense of depth and atmosphere. And the choice of a Dutch angle gives the viewer the vague feeling of unease that gives this landscape some mystery, to its benefit.
My concern is that there are two uses of bright, eye-catching focal points: the figure and the bright light coming from the outside. This tells me conflicting messages about what is important in this piece. Should I be looking at the figure or the building? The building is centered, and has several objects framing it that also point towards it. But the figure has the most significant color contrast... and at the same time is sequestered off into the corner. My advice here would be to decide what is really important (such as a story or environment concept), and focus more on that aspect. Each part is well done in itself, but the impact is not as strong as it could be with a clearer vision behind the art. Once that's decided, you can figure out where you want people's eyes to go.
Overall, it's a good concept with a lot of potential in several directions!

Cool concept! Β Looks like llustration with an interesting backstory. That walker seems pretty calm about being in this environment. Makes the viewer wonder about what s/he is doing there, and how familiar s/he is with this place.
