    I thought I'd try a narrower color pallet to try and tone down my paintings from their usual boldness. C&Cs welcome

    The color palette's working pretty well for you, but it really lacks a sense of believability on the whole. I'd say you should definitely continue working on more observational works to supplement this sort of stuff.

    Specifically, there's no real direction for the light source, there's a completely ruler-straight line in the landscape, and there's no atmospheric perspective, causing things to look pretty flat.

    Definitely got some potential (the polar-bear-with-horns is a pretty cool idea), but either needs more reference or just more practice doing landscape pieces to really get that sense of believability. Keep at it!

    Thanks Noah. There is no doubt that environments and landscapes are not my thing hahaha. I'll work on light direction.
