When the night reaches it’s end and sun blaze far above the village, all excited beholders will gather again to watch in rapture the dark haze unveiling the crest of beautiful mountain which shows it’s remarkable brilliance only by this great day, a blink of an eye during a long year.

Hi Mate,

Nice to see you here :)

I like your last sketch. Especially backgroud colour and softness. Hope you will keep it at the end. Look forward to see your characters :)

Great Mountain Man..

Keep Going

I really like your latest image. There isn't too much to it, but it really makes me think. In my imagination this image is beautiful! I hope you work more on this idea. :D

Hi Tom, nice to see you there, homie :) Now i'ts better, very nice mountain.

PS. Inwazja Polaków na trofea w CG??? :)

[jevinart]

beautiful color and perspective -- very rich feel! can't wait to see more.... (the only sugg i'd make isto add a bit more sky above the mountain peak; having the top edge of the image come down just a few mm above the peak somehow compresses the grandeur of the mountain -- a bit more sky above would open up the image and add more power to the mountain -- who is, after all, the main character in the piece, albeit an inanimate object). nice job going here...

[elgrozni]

Nice stuff.. some characters there too??

[maronski]

yes, but later.

I prefer focus on environment.

[ralphmanning]

I agree with jevinart about expanding the canvas at the top, giving more sky above the mountain.

I always loved the bright pink on the snow, but maybe the blue is a little too colour-saturated. It takes away the focus from the pink. I think it would look better if the blue was less colour-saturated.

[maronski]

You're right, I,ll be working on that.
Thanks

Next time main hero.

[FlaminGlow]

brilliant maronski, if there is a better word i would say it, i like your work where i can find art in lot of fields like art in colors, lines, ideas and lot more. this is one of my favourite way of creating and managing hundreds of details where old fine art artists like David, leonardo and others of high realistic detailed art comes to mind.

keep this geat stuff. :thumbsup:

[bleumoon]

Wow Tomasz, simply stunning work! Your colors are fabulous, and the mountain seems to glow in the distance. I can't wait to see your next update with the hero.

[MoonVisionStudio]

[elgrozni]

Very nice work :thumbsup:

[slickgreekgeo]

This is a great, fantasty style piece. The lightning effects are mind boggling, you nailed it.

[ahbeejieh]

Nice. Didnt see your piece coming. Colors are beautiful. And the "pull the eye in towards the center and force it to move vertically" composition works. I dont know the technical term for that compositiono if there is one :P The image could use a tad more atmosphere though... But I guess the perspective pretty much dictates the depth of this pic. I like it. Congrats on finishing and goodluck.
