[Zycho]

OMG!!! U r amazing, and you inspire me!! I would love to be able draw something like that... ohh well... back to the drawing board...

[HapZungLam]

amazing. but i wish you can put more orange to the left side of the light sorce. to make a huge contrast to the rest of your blueish seen will make it more amaze.

just a little suggestion.

[MarieMJS]

Hello!

A wonderful painting, its really peaceful and the using of this blue gives the true feeling of a morning in winter...The compositing is very interesting - light is amazing!- and somehow, I would not be surprised to see characters moving in this "matte painting" ;)!

Thanks a lot! It's mine too! :D

@SDIT:
Thanks, quiet a bit!

@Zycho:

@HapZungLam:
... but i wish you can put more orange to the left side of the light sorce.
Hmmh, .. You wouldn't beleave it, but I even desaturated this area, because it distracted the focus ... Maybe, I'll have a second look at it.
:rolleyes:

@MarieMJS:

and somehow, I would not be surprised to see characters moving in this "matte painting"
I think its to stylized and to hyperrealistic to consider it as a mattepainting. It's intended to be some kind of postcard over christmas and new year, therefore I'm quiet early with that stuff.

I thought about characters, but . . . who wants to see annoying kids, hear them crying, eat some of their snow balls, stumble over their sleighs, . . . :argh: *peace*!

@AHMED-3D:

That's nice! Thanks!

@Leonard:

Thanks Leonard!
I have not overlooked your invitation,
I'll scratch my artworks together for ya! :beer:


Kind regards,

Daniel :arteest:

i think i better go check my eyes cause i staring at the screen for a very long time...simply mind blowing !

[bolchover]

this is super! my only criticicism (and it's really a matter of taste as much as anything else) - the edge of mountain is really sharp against the sky - looks a little unnatural to me, liek a paper cutout. Could soften of darken in parts... otherwise, great image and style... :)

[nev]

i wanna be there! Damn, i need a vacation in austria

[elektronaut]

oh my god... xmas is coming ;)

really outstanding atmossphere. 5 stars!

greats to austria

marco.

[virus82]

[-=Darth Alek'SidE=-]

the place of the city looks like the place of minath tirith in LotR.
just below the moutain!

[Dutchman]

Thats stunning work! Really nice and moody! I can feel the outside coldness but inside warmness of xmas :) Makes me feeling happy :drool: :beer:

Gijs

[Eldarion]

5 star vote ;)

[eygji]

the detail and lighting are great.
i actually get the feeling of standing in the cold crisp morning feeling the first rays of sun warming me up... great feel!

[Frenkie]

Its wondeful Daniel!

[Tranchefeux]

Hello,
Large images, fantastic atmosphere congratulation.

[lv-88]

amazing, love the attention to the details aswell as the sky ;)

[oxyg3n]

Nice work, it is hard to imagine someone painting in all of those details.

[Emperor]

Lovely new desktop you have delivered. Very moody. Feels like warm chilly winter. Yes, odd but..soft, cold, warm...somehow just...cozy.

[OrcOYoyo]

Great work :)

the mountains texture looke realy great.
Also the overall mood of the scenery is also very impressive.

[Thell]

Nice colours, but I think I would have done it better. Just kidding! :wise:

[Ondrayce]

Beautiful work. Cheers!

[Yodimus]

Heh, reminds me of these little 'wintery town' christmas miniatures we have. My mom would get a new building each year for a while. They looked just like those.

[Ollarin]

Awesome work! It reminds me a bit of Minas Tirith in Lord of the Rings. :thumbsup:

[sula_nebouxi]

Great stuff, although I have to agree with the previous comment about the mountain. I'd also suggest adding a small layer of mist to the mountain to give it a sense of depth and make it feel like it was farther away than it actually looks. Otherwise, this is excellent and is gonna be my new wallpaper :)

[WilliG]

I think that your works are in a league of their own, and this is no exception.
I especially love the snow in the forground - to be able to paint lighting with that sort of realism is amazing.
Have to agree though, some snow bein blown around and off the mountain would look fantastic.
Thanks for the new desktop ;)

[Grimreaper1981]

beautiful image...how long are you working on piece like this?


kaum zu glauben, das solche bilder aus österreich kommen...:thumbsup:

[tinitus]

[byanfu]

Great work!

[Panic.uk]

I'd love to use this as my desktop picture but do you have a 1280x1024 or higher version I could have?

Thanks!

[jasonkey]

impressive. would you please post the reference photos?

[Steveyola]

Beautiful piece,such a nice look and feel.Great mood,excellent work.:thumbsup:

[neo_rambo]

Its very nice. However, its kinda of towards the Thomas Kinkaid side.

[Markski]

I really like this one! I assume that it's a continuation or different version of another piece that you posted a few weeks back.

[blotov]

the sky dont look in harmony with the rest of your compo, the sky is too photographic , the houses are less photographic. its strange, lets say not well fitted.

[Krulwick]

I think it is a beautiful image. I love it.

[Trower]

There's a certain 'old school' aspect to this piece, with a decent amount of technical application.

My only criticism is that most of the houses seem to be facing in the same direction... I feel anal for saying this, but it was the only thing I found I dis-liked particularly in this image.

The colours although ethereal, compliment the 'fantastical' quality of your work.

Good stuff.

[Ze Aratloss]

Wow! I love the mountain side with the sky, it's just beautiful. It makes the holidays feel closer!!!

[henningsen]

Wow, this is totally amazing! This reminds me of this really old, really cozy norwegian christmas movie they show every year, hehe... This is perfection, extremely well done, man!

[redneckstudio]

Brrrrrr. Very nice and very appropriate for the holidays. It looks very inviting to the traveller who has spent all day trudging through the snow.

[ZombieFrog]

wow, this is very nice

[Mefisto]

I can't find good words to describe all what I fell when I look at your work... This is place from my dreams... Excellent work!!! :thumbsup:

[deadline]

great job. love those details...
