Title: The Great Forest
Name: Moy Shin Hung
Country: Malaysia
Software: Photoshop

Our great grandmother was eight when they came. They were welcomed with wide open arms. For they are the one who promised the tribe great wisdom and future.

She could remember vividly the last day birds chirp and the trees still beam with life.

Now we must challenge our enemy and live on the hope of her memory.

Beautiful!

The girl is hard to note because of her skintones. I like the fact that she blends but perhaps she is blending a lil bit too much; could be improve by adding more shadows too, she seems a bit flat.

As for the rest, simply magical. Love the perspective and the atmosphere of it. It really pulled me in, and that is rare for me to say.

4 stars too!

Very interesting work!

I can give only one advice-make first plan and girl on the swing more contrast ,a little dark.
Very nice:)

looks great to me my only real gripe is the girls hand on the swing is a the same spot as the root of the tree crossing the river, a bit discrating...but that may only be me

Very nice! I wish you could move the "camera" a bit closer to the girl to reveal more of the work youve done on the character and also to peek over her shoulder...in a sneaky way, ya know :) I think, there also a problem with the river. It catapults me violently out of the picture. Its only after 2 or 3 rounds, that I start to read whats going on in there... hope I made my point clear :)

I like it nonetheless.

Beautiful textures and mood... I love the way everything comes together without being too obvious, really difficult to achieve sometimes, and you've master it in here. Brilliant...:thumbsup:

EhsanD: Thanks!

Oz-Haver: Thanks for your advice. I agreed for now the girl blend in to the same level as the whole painting. I intended so originally to draw more focus to the background instead. She should stand out a lil bit more to enchance the atmosphere.

inky2: Thanks.

dinfet: This is interesting. I don't exactly understand the distraction part though.

Nickillus: I actually feel quite uncomfortable for posting at this size, alot of details are missing.

Jenya: Haha. That is cute but useful nonetheless. I know what you mean. I think the reason why the river would disrupt the eye movement could be it is too contrast. If I were to fix this, I think I'd adjust so that the transition of the river would be further up, leaving only the very bright part to the top. Thanks for pointing this out.

MichaelZHsee: Hey mate! I agreed with what you both have said. By bringing out the contrast in the girl slightly, I believe the whole piece would have a different feel. It would speak more of "the girl IN the wood" rather than "the girl AND the wood".

Rysh, harachte, Agata: Thanks. :)

Excellent illustration. I love the textures especially the ground cover and leaves (the bottom picture shows this).

I really like this image - very deep and dark so it gets the feeling across. I think you should've used a bit more saturated color in some of the lighted areas and closer to the viewer to give it even more depth but that's nitpicking.


Great job!
