Hi!
I've started working on this image, I don't know what's the name of this plant in english (if it has one) because i don't know its name in spanish! :p (I'm from spain)...
This is supposed to be the introduction to a film I'm making, the idea is to show this, moved by a gentle breeze, everything very peaceful and quiet, and suddenly a great wind comes and blows everything (maybe also fire from the sky, but i'm not sure if I could make it...)
after this would come the title, and then the film itself about a dragon...
this is the image as it is now, i need some advice and crits, please...

I will add more plants like this and some flowers in the future, but I'm not sure about how should the flowers be...
Thanks

if the image doesn't work, right click on it and select "show image" a couple of times, sometimes it works that way... if not, you can try this:

if I attach a little image, would you make some comments? or just tell me if the image of the first post was visible...
How can I attach bigger images?

Yep, elmasfeo, I can't seem to get the original links to pull up at all, linking or pasting to browser dosen't work. :shrug:

From the small image, it looks like a nice scene. My only comment would be; maybe some more grass closer to the camera, to fill in the area where the dirt is showing. It looks as if now the camera is at the edge of the grass growth, perhaps it would add to the image to have it look as if it's above the grass.

Oh, and it's called a Dandelion (spelling may be off) in english :thumbsup:

ok, I think that the image in the first post should be working now...
Thanks, javascream... Dandelion... I will remember it... till I forget it:p
Here's an update with 2 dandelions, and a zoom at the "head"

I'd say the concept is good, but the grass looks a bit shabby. I'd try to make more clumps and differ the heights a bit more. Otherwise, pretty neato!:thumbsup:

Cool idea, but the dandelion stems are too dark in my opinion. If you look at a dandelion in real life their stems are more pale than your models'.

The flower looks good, but maybe you can take a look at the grass and pick a different sky for the background. This sky is so standard

how about adding more detail to the ground? it looks way to blurry at this point

looking good :thumbsup:
