Your tutorial led me here. It was very helpful, thank you very much. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

1) Now, I like the placement of the Valkyries, but I they seemed... flat. Yes, I know, that's their silhouettes. But what I'm pointing out is the direction they're coming from; they're coming from the right. I think that if they came from the sun/horizon, it would be better.
(But something tells me that they're coming slightly from the lower right corner, but I think that's just me. If yes, well work on their lightings a bit.)

2) I like overall atmosphere (although I prefer your nighttime version of this in the tutorial), but it lacks the sun in 'sunset' -- judging from the lighting of the mountains (particularly the one receiving the rainbow), the source of light should be more brighter. Or rather, a tint of the orange, or a lighter orange feels missing from the sun. Granted, this might also change the Valkyries' looks.

3) The mist -- add more shades; they are clouds, too! So if your clouds are shaded, why not add bits of shades to the mists, too?

4) That rainbow distracts me. It feels... out of place. Maybe it needs to have shades and tint, too. Though, I won't be able to view that much because I can't zoom in. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Blank Stare)"/>

There! I hope that I was helpful. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> Thanks again for your tutorials.

Yes I agree with you in many things but if the valkiries come from the sun they would be giant!!! that was the idea at first but then someone told me: omg, they are huuuuuge!

The image is great and the tutorial was helpful

The only thing that looked odd for me was the raibow. Maybe too bright and out of place... >.<

The one thing I notice is the difference in contrast between the mountains and the valkyries. I know you were working on creating a sun-glow around the valkyries, but because they are lacking detail and dark/light contrast, they seem pushed into the distance (even though their size says they are close). The mountains, on the other hand, have a very strong dark/light contrast and lots of detail, and so they seem much closer.

Everything else, though, is beautifully done. The forms and feeling are very powerful, and I love the lighting (even if the red has damaged your eyes ) The sweep of the clouds is very glorious. Excellent work.

well I think you are right, I should have dismissed the glow and made them darker and more detailed
