La Grande Tour, Maxime Desmettre (2D)

[PhilOsirus]

Very nice work. No crit except for the clouds which look very sketchy unlike the rest of the image.

[jkuy]

Ya looks good cept clouds look weird. Um, I like the pastel color pallet and the character reminds me of that FF character!

[SeifoSid]

Great work, the point of view is really nice too.

great piece of work mate~its quite suitable for the journey begins concept :thumbsup:

[LoTekK]

Beautiful painting, love the mood and lighting. My only crit is that initially the adventurer doesn't read that easily. It took me a couple of looks to figure out that it was a mounted rider.

Great work!

[MaxD]

I understand your critic LoTekk, and your absolutely right... I'llbe more precise in my future work (at least i'll try).

Thx everybody for your comments, i didn't expected that interest about the pic : P

[pascal_blanche]

[PascalR]

Superbe!:)

[Kyena]

This deserves so much more attention :sad:

[khemist000]

Great work, I would agree with phil on the clouds, they look almost like jet trails. Also maybe play with the levels in PS to get a bit more contrast between your colors. I feel like your shadow areas are too light. But thats just my personal preference. I love the lighting its amazing!

[hydropix]

yeah ! Maxime :thumbsup:

[ga-analytics]

Very nice! Only as much brush strokes as needed. I hope I get the chance to come to Montréal soon.

[Joscci]

Nicely done. I like the atmospheric feel from the color palette. :)

Good job.

[Pufferfish]

Very nice image, great work with the mood. Makes me wonder which one is safer, the forest or the desert :)

[Goron]

hey Max! glad to see you there, this pic's kick some fesses.

[theuni]

Hi,

really nice artwork you show up with :applause: You should have taken place with this one in the actual cgtalk challange:)

[ElectroNico]

Great ! Nice atmosphere and composition ! :)

[Nipper]

Very nice use of light!

The foreground silhouettes and the foliage look like an homage to the fantasy artist, Rodney Matthews. I used to love looking through some of his books( published by paper tiger).

[LoTekK]

I understand your critic LoTekk, and your absolutely right... I'llbe more precise in my future work (at least i'll try).
Oops, I didn't mean to say the figure was poorly done. The figure on its own reads well, but I think the fact that its silhouette merges with the roots and branches on the right makes it so that it doesn't stand out as well. The silhouette of the rider, as well, is on exactly the same line as that root, so it blends even more. A bit more separation would help, I think.

But again, I think this is a gorgeous piece all round. :)

[umbrellasky]

Beautiful! I adore the lighting and composition. Wonderful work! :thumbsup:

[ashen]

The lighting and mood are nicely done, would like to see the main character in a more clearly defined pose though...
