Claw · 20-04-2010, 08:28 PM

I've left it quite late to start this and I may not have time to finish but i will try. Going for a late evening just after sunset look.

I don't know why, but somehow i don't see the picture..... He gives the white box with a red cross...

Akim · 21-04-2010, 07:21 AM

I like your idea and sunset decision.
only one small advise: try to go out of symmetrical look

yaRa · 21-04-2010, 06:48 PM

Hi! )
I think, you need to bend our right mountain into left to make composition like bowl.

Claw · 25-04-2010, 04:23 PM

I have decided to remove the mountain on the left, as Akim pointed out it was making the composition to symmetrical. Having said that i did really like the shape of that mountain so it may turn up in a future matte at some point. I may add a small temple on the left or little rock formation but I haven't decided yet.

Claw · 26-04-2010, 08:02 PM

Think I am going to call this one finished.

BBB · 26-04-2010, 10:10 PM

Hi Claw, i think you should desaturate a bit the sky. It's too red/orange

tjerkotten · 27-04-2010, 10:04 AM

It look very cool. I am curious what you are going to do to get the theme right. Its not yet an mysterious aztek jungle. When i see this i want to take a chair and relax when i see this backdrop

Looks too peacefull at the moment.

BBB · 27-04-2010, 11:21 AM

The brief doesn't say that the jungle has to be aztec or mayan, isn't it? but i think that maybe the rock mountain breaks the idea of the jungle... try to add vegtation to that mountain

atulkatdare · 29-04-2010, 02:31 AM

nice! looks pleasant to the eyes.

2BIG3k · 29-04-2010, 09:04 AM

I really like the trees you put on top of the right rock formation.
Some things that bother me: The reflection on the rivers is off it think. The brightest area should be below the sun. The waterfall should be more in shadow I guess. The mid area forrest still looks a little too flat, try to break up the lighting that you applied to that layer a bit.

Claw · 30-04-2010, 04:03 PM

Thanks for the advice every one! I have desaturated the sky a little and darkened the waterfall. Also changed the reflection on the river (Good call 2BIG3K, school boy error on my part). Thanks everyone.

You have a great mood here, Claw!
