very nice mood you create in these pieces(loved the one on post #78)
Would dig seeing something different from this genre (ex:futuristic,etc)
keep it up dude

Thanks everyone! Pgf95: I am building a focused portfolio on fantasy environments, so that's why I don't really have any sci-fi stuff! Something to think about though.

And done!

I'm sure they chained him for a reason

awesome landscapes I like the frozen dragon paint a lot!! very nice stuff
keep it up!

Your landscapes look amazing!! Are they from imagination?? I can only say to maybe work on contrast and a stronger light source but they look fantastic already.

**LordBob** · February 26th, 2013, 03:08 AM

The iced dragon looks great, and the enviro is promising. One thing though: I'm not fond of how the entire foreground fades to a dark grey. It would be plausible if the marching column were backlit in a place deprived of light such as a cave of tight canyon, but here they're apparently in the open. Where has gone the vivd light that livens up the rest of the scene ? You could obtain a good result by working on increased contrast (compared to farther grounds) instead, which would make your foreground come forward and easier to read.

**Eelis Kyttänen** · February 26th, 2013, 08:50 PM

Thanks guys!

Starshaker: Yeps, imagination. Individual elements may be somewhat referenced, like the camel in the newest one. I agree with you on the contrast part!

LordBob: Thanks for giving some in-depth critique! The pieces would definitely benefit from some increased contrast and I am going to keep that in mind as I go on. I often want to keep the foreground quite dark, so there's just something blocking the light to the right.

Here's a few different scenes from this night. Can't wait to do a full-scale forest scene soon!
