Hey Square

Nice work dude! Lighting and palette are really nice, good depth etc. Something wierd possibly with the river near the town - looks like it's banking up? Based on the town scale, that's one big castle, but it looks cool. Keep 'em coming!

hey there,

I love your palette, maybe you want to add more haze in front of your castle to push it a little bit back, ...so you'll feel more the scale,

cheers!

Thanks everyone for you kind words and comments, its really appreciated!:)

Raphael-Lacoste- Thanks man, its awsome that you dropped by to give the constructive feed back on the piece, alittle more haze would definetly help in scale. Thanks Raphael!

JSR1- Thanks dude, I thought the sketch had some promising basics to finalize it, whens the next illustration coming?

carbonmatter- HEY DUDE! Great to hear from you, thanks for taking a look at the piece, having fresh eyes helps me out, it does look like its banking up, huge thanks man!
